Iโve mentioned before that my low carb bread recipe is extremely versatile. Last week I used this base in a low carb biscuit recipe โ which was GREAT!
Last night I decided to try a new twist, with tuna and cheddar. It turned out absolutely delicious. ๐ What a nice filling treat, and a very tasty way to enjoy Laughing Cow Cheese Spread, which is my newest low carb food addiction! lol.
This is super simple to make:
Ingredients:
1 Cup Almond Meal/Flour (12 Net Carbs)
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (4 Net Carbs)
1 Can of Tuna
2 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
Garlic Salt to taste
If youโre eating for one you may want to cut this recipe in half. I used about 1/3 of the batter (around 5 net carbs) to make 5 pieces, so it comes out to around 1 net carb per piece, give or take depending on the size of your pieces.
As Iโve mentioned before, you can add any variations of ingredients or seasonings. I often add chopped or creamed spinach for example. (The garlic salt was PERFECT in this combination!)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet (best to do this now, before your hands get messy, lol). Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix well:
I just use my hands to mix it up good. Tip: Wash your hands first. ๐ And definitely after, lol.
Next youโll spoon out the batter onto the parchment paper. I often shape them with my hands since theyโre already messy, but this was a thicker mixture and I spooned it out and shaped them round and flat with a spoon:
Unlike my cheesy low carb biscuits with spinach, bacon & mushrooms โ these were a bit more dry. Not TOO dry, just dryER. On my next attempt I may add whipped cream cheese to see if they come out slightly better. Although they were pretty darn good as is!
I baked them at 350, and just kept an eye on them until they were nice and browned โ flipping them once to brown both sides:
I made them flat like thick crackers, and spread Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss Wedges on them.
I used 1/3 to 1/2 a wedge of the creamy swiss on each โbiscuitโ.
OMG. DELICIOUS. ๐
When you want something hearty, filling AND low carb โ without having to cook an entire meal โ this โ10 minute fixโ is just plain perfect! ๐
I absolutely love this โrecipeโ because you can throw just about anything you have on hand in the bowl, and make a yummy low carb โbreadโ out of it.
I mentioned I made five pieces, which were small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. And that TOTALLY filled me up. -Enjoy!!
You should also mention gluten-free in your headlines, Lynn. I havenโt even looked at your low carb bread recipe because I assumed it used traditional flour. Being a big tuna fan, I had to take a look at this post and was surprised to see the pic of almond flourI So exciting! I canโt wait to try this!
Good point, Bridgett. All of my low carb bread & cookie recipes are also Gluten Free. ๐ Iโm having these again for breakfast this morning. That whole batch probably made a good 3-4 servings of 4-5 large pieces each lol. Iโll be eating it for lunch too I guess. ๐ ha. *cheers*
Hey! Iโm so glad that I stumbled into your websiteโฆ. Canโt wait to try your recipesโฆ. One thing:::: Iโm allergic to all artificial sugars even stevia and Splenda โฆ Sad! If your recipe requires sugar, what should I do? Use raw sugar? It has 4 carbs per teaspoon.
Hi Susan! The recipe doesnโt require any sugar. ๐ Even on my low carb cookies, I donโt like them very sweet so I generally just use vanilla extract and cinnamon โ sometimes a tablespoon of sugar free vanilla syrup โ but you can leave anything out you donโt want to use. But this recipe โ the bread, biscuits, etc โ have no sweetener at all in them. Enjoy!
OMG, these were soooo good!!!! I forgot about the cheese on top-lol.
I had 3 for lunch and was stuffed, ate the other 2 for my late snack.
I plan to make them tomorrow with chicken-I beleive these can be frozen and would be good to make ahead!!!
cant thank you enough for a wonderful recipe with many variations possible!!!
Just wanted to tell you that I tried your Low-Carb Tuna Biscuits with Creamy Cheese my way; I added a can of chicken and used cream cheese. I also used soy flour as I havenโt yet received my almond flour yet. They were awesome! Thanks for the idea.
Hi Lynn,
Can you please let me know how much tuna โ you just mentioned 1 can of tuna.
Thanks so much ๐
Made these today! Easy, yummy, kids ate them too! Will try them with canned chicken next time!
