roasted red pepper & goat cheese breakfast biscuits
These high-protein breakfast biscuits have become one of my most popular recipes so I keep testing out new flavors! The recipe makes 12 biscuits that you bake in the oven, and can store in the refrigerator and just reheat when you’re ready! I’ve found 2-3 minutes in the airfryer is perfect for reheating, but a microwave or oven works too.
Ingredients (for 12 biscuits):
1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
16oz ground pork (can sub chicken sausage, ground turkey, or ground chicken)
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1 + 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp baking powder
4oz goat cheese

sun-dried tomato, feta, & basil egg muffins
These egg muffins have a similar texture to the Starbucks egg bites, which I love, because you blend up your eggs with cottage cheese, and they’re a great low carb option if you’re looking for that. You could definitely personalize these to be any flavor you’d like!
Ingredients (for 12-15 egg bites):
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped basil leaves
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
