What Makes This Recipe Great
If you’re looking for a breakfast that feels like a fancy French bistro but fits in the palm of your hand, you’ve found it. These Bacon and Gruyère Breakfast Bites are the perfect solution for busy mornings, weekend brunches, or even a sophisticated keto-friendly appetizer.
They are savory, salty, and incredibly nutty thanks to the Gruyère. Plus, because we use almond flour instead of traditional wheat, they are naturally gluten-free and grain-free!
Ingredient Information
- Bacon– Thick-cut works best for texture
- Onion– Finely chopped to provide a sweet, savory base.
- Almond Flour– Unlike white flour, almond flour is low-glycemic and packed with healthy fats and Vitamin E, keeping you full longer.
- Baking Powder– this is different from
- Salt– use liberally and from the heart
- Black Pepper
- Egg– A powerhouse of high-quality protein and choline, essential for brain health.
- Gruyere Cheese– Shredded (freshly grated is always better for melting!)
Step By Step
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Place it on paper towels to cool, then chop it.
- Cook the onion in the bacon grease for 5-7 minutes, until soft.
- In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and eggs.
- Stir in the cooked bacon, onion, and ¾ cup of shredded cheese.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the mixture into balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly.
- Top with the remaining cheese (or extra if you like).
- Bake for about 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are set.
- Enjoy warm or store them in an airtight container in the fridge to reheat later!
The Best Way to Serve
These bites are incredibly versatile. To elevate your breakfast game, try serving them:
- With a Side of Greens: A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette cuts through the richness of the cheese and bacon perfectly.
- The “Dip” Method: Serve with a side of spicy Dijon mustard or a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with chives.
- On the Go: These are meal-prep heroes. You can make a double batch on Sunday, freeze them, and pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds on your way out the door.
