Ingredients
Servings
12
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (blanched)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and patted dry)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free keto substitute)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
-
Stir in grated mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until thoroughly combined.
-
Fold in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, and thyme leaves.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
-
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Adjust consistency with a bit more almond flour if too wet, or a teaspoon of water or yogurt if too dry.
-
Scoop 12 equal portions onto the baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly to form 2-inch rounds.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature as a protein-packed snack or alongside meals to support keto and heart-healthy eating.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips
Protein Highlight
the main protein ingredients gives this dairy recipe its main protein focus, while supporting ingredients add texture, fiber, or slow-burning carbohydrates. Keep the protein portion clear on the plate instead of letting sauces, toppings, or starches become the bulk of the meal.
Goal Fit
This recipe fits meal prep, active-week eating, and balanced family meals because it combines familiar ingredients with a fitness-friendly structure. Use it when you want a practical option that can support recovery, satiety, or steady energy without turning the meal into a supplement-style dish.
Protein Density
To keep the protein density strong, measure calorie-dense extras and add more the main protein ingredients or a compatible high-protein side before increasing the starch or sauce. If you scale the recipe, preserve the ratio between the protein base and the vegetables, grains, or toppings.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Mediterranean Herb and Sun-Dried Tomato Keto Cheese Biscuits?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more the main protein ingredients or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Ingredient Replacements
- almond flour: Use the closest lean protein or high-protein base that fits the recipe format, and keep the portion similar so the texture and protein balance stay intact.
- coconut flour: Swap with a similar cooked grain, vegetable, dairy item, or pantry ingredient when needed, adjusting liquid or cooking time if the replacement is wetter or drier.
- gluten-free baking powder: Use a related spice, herb, sauce, or aromatic if this ingredient is unavailable, then taste before adding extra salt or heat.
- Gluten-free option: Choose certified gluten-free grains, crumbs, sauces, and pantry items when cross-contact matters.
- Dairy-free option: Replace yogurt, cheese, kefir, or milk-based ingredients with unsweetened high-protein dairy-free alternatives when they fit the recipe.
- Calorie adjustment: Keep oils, sweeteners, nuts, cheese, and creamy sauces measured so the recipe stays aligned with a protein-forward plate.
Storage
Cool Mediterranean Herb and Sun-Dried Tomato Keto Cheese Biscuits before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
