Pin this Recipe

Living a healthy life is not as easy as it sounds. Many of us already tried and failed! Including myself for more than I can count. But, I have found my success with Keto Diet!

Keto is a high-fat, low-carb diet, meaning our body goes into a state of ketosis where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. We all know that the suggested net carbs change from person to person. But with ketosis, a person can reach 40 – 20 net carbs.

These Ham and Cheese Bites are like a needle in a haystack. There is so much grab-and-go or meal prep-style food but it can be difficult to find foods to fit this diet.

These homemade ham and cheese bites are delicious either warm or cold. Each bite contains 1.5 net carbs! These are the perfect low-carb breakfast. Also, an amazing good lunch when paired with a green salad or another low-carb side.

These grain and gluten-free bites are amazing! The ingredients are simple and easy to find.

What You Need To Make These Ham and Cheese Bites:

Ham and Cheese Bites

Ham: You can use any quality thick-cut ham. It’s also great to use leftover ham.

Cream Cheese: Either use full or reduced-fat cream cheese.

Coconut Flour: This provides the best fluffy texture. Although, you can use almond flour instead.

Baking Powder: Gives these cheesy bites loft and rise.

Shredded Cheese: I used sharp cheddar, but Swiss or other cheese works just fine.

Eggs: Grab the biggest eggs!

Steps To Make Ham and Cheese Bites

Step 1: Into small pieces, chop the ham to make two cups.

For this, I love to use small hickory smoked quarter ham. You can use ham without added sugar if you are watching your carbs.

Step 2: Mix the ham with the softened cream cheese until there are no lumps.

Step 3: Next, add the rest of the ingredients (shredded cheese, beaten eggs, coconut flour, and baking powder). Mix well until you have a soft dough.

Step 4: Place the dough in the fridge to chill for at least 10 minutes.

Make sure not to skip this step. This way you give the coconut flour time to soak up the egg mixture. You do not want flat bites, would you?

Step 5: Onto a baking sheet, scoop the mixture using a small cookie scoop. Leave some space between the dough balls.

Step 6: Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 – 23 minutes until the top of the bites is golden brown.
