This one’s for those days when only true comfort food will do—the kind that sticks to your ribs, warms your soul, and makes you feel like everything’s gonna be alright. Biscuits and gravy have always been a go-to indulgence for us, but of course, traditional versions are a carb bomb.
So we got to work and reimagined it—keto style.
These cheddar jalapeño biscuits are made with almond flour, plenty of sharp cheese, and just enough heat to wake things up. They’re soft and fluffy inside with crisp, golden edges. Then comes the sausage gravy—a rich, peppery, cream-based sauce loaded with crumbled breakfast sausage and poured generously over those warm, cheesy biscuits.
It’s the kind of breakfast-for-dinner (or brunch-for-anytime) meal that’s comforting, savory, and totally keto-approved. And while it looks impressive, it’s surprisingly easy to pull together. Once you taste the combo of buttery biscuit and creamy sausage gravy, you’ll know why this one made the cut for our ultimate comfort series.
