Ingredients
  

For the biscuit dough
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 150 g)
  • 16 ounces ground pork (450 g)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano (10 g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (4 g)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (5 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (2 g)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (150 g)
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour (40 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (8 g)
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110 g)
  • 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers (150 g)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese (115 g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, until soft.
  3. Clear the center of the pan and add the ground pork. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pork is completely browned, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add the oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then stir to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Mixing the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
  2. Add the beaten eggs, cheddar cheese, chopped roasted red peppers, and the cooled pork mixture to the flour mix. Use a spatula to fully incorporate the ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
  1. Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to form 12 to 14 evenly sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. With lightly oiled hands, press down gently on the top of each ball to shape them into biscuits.
  3. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until they are firm and lightly browned on the outside.
  4. Remove the biscuits from the oven and use a finger to create a small depression in the center of each.
  5. Add about 1 tablespoon of goat cheese to each indent and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the goat cheese has melted slightly and the biscuits are crisp and browned.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool completely on the sheet pan.

Notes

These biscuits can be served warm or at room temperature. For a gourmet touch, drizzle with balsamic glaze or serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
