Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz) block cream cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 eggs
- 4 Tbsp baking powder
- 1⅓ cups almond flour
- 2 Tbsp melted butter (for brushing and mixing)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Spray a 12-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray and set it aside to be used later.
- Melt the Cheeses: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Stir continuously until both cheeses are completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Mix the Dough: Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a large bowl. Add the eggs, baking powder, and almond flour. Stir and mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter-like dough. Allow the dough to rest and stand for 10 to 20 minutes to let the almond flour absorb moisture and firm up slightly.
- Scoop into Skillet: Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into the prepared cast iron skillet, distributing evenly.
- Chill the Dough: Place the skillet with the scooped dough into the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This helps the biscuits hold their shape during baking.
- Bake: Remove the skillet from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the biscuits turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
- Brush with Butter and Serve: Once baked, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a shiny finish. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Be sure to use a cast iron skillet as it ensures even baking and crisp edges.
- The resting time allows the almond flour to absorb moisture, improving the biscuit texture.
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and fresh mozzarella.
- These biscuits keep well stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.
- Adjust the baking time slightly if using a different sized skillet or baking dish.
