Ingredients

  • 2 Cups almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon)
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ cup Melted Butter
  • 4 Large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons Diced jalapeños (add more if you like heat)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Spray an 8 inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, salt, baking powder and cheddar cheese.
  • Add in the melted butter, beaten eggs, heavy cream and jalapeños.
  • Stir well.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cut into eight pieces and serve.

Notes

  • I used pickled jalapeños but fresh would work just as well, if not better.  
  • If you want to make this in an 8x8 casserole dish instead of a cast iron skillet, the instructions would be the same but it may take a little longer to cook.
  • Freezing: These freeze really well!  Wrap individual slices in freezer paper and plastic wrap.  Place in freezer and keep frozen for up to 4 months.  When ready to eat, remove from freezer and let thaw.  Warm in the oven at 350F for a few minutes.
