Low Carb Biscuits and Gravy
A super easy low carb cheddar biscuit piled high with gluten free sausage gravy...makes a delicious low carb breakfast or a satisfying low carb 30 minute meal!
There is one thing my southern heart cannot give up, and that is biscuits and gravy. This delicious breakfast dish has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. My Low Carb Biscuits and Gravy uses a cheddar biscuit for maximum flavor and sausage gravy, of course!
I love to have breakfast for dinner since I am not much of a morning breakfast person, ha!
My low carb breakfast sandwich is another quick one that my family loves! I used pancakes as the bread for that one!
Or you might be in the mood for just pancakes. You should try my low carb pancakes with lemon. They are scrumptious!
Back to your regularly scheduled low carb biscuits and gravy.
You will love this low carb cheddar biscuit recipe because it is incredibly easy! All you have to do is mix all of the ingredients together, scoop it out onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake them in the oven!
I scoop mine out with a large cookie scoop and then flattened them out with my fingers so they look like biscuits cut with a biscuit cutter. You could also use a spoon to drop them on the baking sheet.
These low carb biscuits come out light and fluffy and so full of flavor. You might want to make a double batch! For the cheese in these biscuits, I used medium cheddar. You could use any kind of cheddar such as sharp, white cheddar, or even pepper jack cheese…that would be delicious!
Traditionally, sausage gravy is thickened by sprinkling flour over the sausage after it is cooked. This creates a roux and when the liquid is poured in and simmered, the gravy thickens.
One product that I have found amazingly versatile and should be in every low carb pantry is Xanthan gum. This little package will last you forever because you only need to use very little. To thicken this sausage gravy I only used 1/2 teaspoon. I bought the package that I have about a year ago and it doesn’t expire until October of 2018!
So for the sausage gravy I first cooked my ground sausage in my skillet until it was cooked through. I love to use this little tool to break up the meat into smaller pieces as I cook it.
After the sausage was cooked, I added the chicken broth, heavy cream, and sprinkled the xanthan gum on top. I mixed it all up and then let it simmer until it was thick.
