Method
Prepare Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and yellow onion, sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the finely chopped spinach and cook until wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and large eggs until smooth and well combined.
Form Biscuit Dough
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir with a spatula until a thick dough forms. Fold in the cooked and cooled vegetables, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
Shape and Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop or your hands, form 8 equally sized biscuits (they should be about 2-2.5 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven. For extra flavor, brush the tops with a little melted butter mixed with garlic powder before baking. Feel free to experiment with other low-carb vegetables like finely chopped zucchini (squeezed dry) or mushrooms. These biscuits can also be made in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness and flipping halfway through if needed.
