🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed pork rinds (40 grams) (plain or flavored)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (130 grams) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite low-carb variety)
- 1 tsp baking powder (for a fluffier texture — optional)
- Sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder (omit for strict carnivore)
- Chopped herbs, jalapeños, or extra cheese for topping
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed pork rinds, eggs, and shredded cheese. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough-like texture. If the dough feels too wet, let it sit for 1–2 minutes to firm up.
- Scoop or roll into biscuit-sized mounds, spacing them evenly on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or paired with keto-friendly gravy, soup, or breakfast favorites.
🔄 Optional Add-Ins & Variations
Want to customize your biscuits? Here are some tasty, low-carb-friendly options:
- Cheese swaps: Use cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, or parmesan — but avoid high-moisture cheeses like fresh mozzarella, which can make the dough too wet and prevent it from baking properly.
- Flavor enhancers: Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, or smoked paprika for extra depth (omit if following a strict carnivore diet).
- Add heat: Mix in chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy version.
- Top it off: Sprinkle cooked bacon bits or herbs on top before baking for added texture and flavor.
These low-carb additions let you customize the recipe to your taste — all while keeping it keto, gluten-free, and carnivore-adaptable.
🥣 Why This Recipe Works

🔬 Recipe Testing Approach
Every recipe I publish is tested multiple times using widely available grocery store ingredients. I measure ingredients by weight where relevant and aim to keep prep time minimal without sacrificing flavor or texture. My goal is to make low-carb and keto recipes approachable, reliable, and satisfying.
🥖 How This Recipe Compares to Traditional Biscuits
Traditional biscuits use wheat flour, baking soda, and milk or buttermilk—adding carbs and gluten. This version mimics the texture and comfort of classic biscuits using just pork rinds, eggs, and cheese. You still get a golden, tender result—without grains, sugar, or carb spikes.
