Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Grass-fed ghee
- 5 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free cheese
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the ghee until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs and coconut milk together, then add to the flour mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to form a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 4 squares.
Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
In the same skillet, add coconut oil and scramble the remaining 2 eggs until just set. Remove from heat.
Place a few slices of bacon, a portion of scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of dairy-free cheese into each square of dough.
Fold each square of dough diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges to seal, tucking and folding as needed to encase the filling.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissants warm!
