Two of the most popular recipes on this site are my Keto Sausage Egg and Cheese Bites and my Keto Pizza Bites. If you’ve been a reader long and you are trying a low carb diet chances are you have already tried them. I think they are so popular because they are very easy, make a large batch and are perfect for meal prep.

I got a message on Instagram last week asking if I had any varieties to share and of course I do! I made these Keto Taco Bites for my dedicated low carb website a few weeks ago and today I’m sharing this easy ham and cheese version!

What is the keto diet?

Keto is a high fat low carb diet. When your body is in a state of ketosis it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. The total amount of suggested net carbs can vary from person to person but generally people can reach ketosis when they have had 40-20 net carbs.

It can be difficult to find grab and go or meal prep style foods that fit this diet because so many of those go to options are full of carbs. These Keto Ham and Cheese Bites are tasty eaten warm or cold. One batch makes over 20 bites (24 for me) and they contain 1.5 net carbs each! They make a great low carb breakfast or a good lunch paired with a garden salad or other low carb side.

How do I make Keto Ham and Cheese Bites?

This recipe follows the same base I use for my other keto bites. A protein, cheese, cream cheese, eggs, baking powder and coconut flour. I get a lot of questions regarding the coconut flour. I do not notice any coconut flavor, but I suppose if you are highly sensitive you might get some hint of the flavor?

You can substitute almond flour if you wish, but it will not yield the best result. The bites are light and fluffy with coconut flour, they are more dense if you sub almond flour. I highly suggest making the recipe as written for the best results.

You may also love these delicious Keto Spinach Bacon and Egg Muffins, they are only about 1 net carb each and great for keto meal prep. Another favorite of mine are these delicious Keto Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars. They have about 2 net carbs per serving and are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

These Keto Ham and Cheese Bites are only 1.5 net carb and great warm or cold! This is an easy keto meal prep recipe!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ham, chopped
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 eggs, beaten

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees

    Combine ham and cream cheese until completely combined.
    Add in remaining ingredients until well combined and chill 10 minutes.
    **If you skip chilling the dough they will flatten as they cook and not be nice round balls**
    Drop onto a greased baking sheet (I like to use the silicone baking mats) using a small cookie scoop.
    Bake 20-23 minutes until golden brown.
    This made 24 for me, but that will depend on the size scoop you use and how tightly you pack them.

      Hi Laura, they don't taste like a quiche or egg muffin they are definitely more of a light/fluffy ham and cheese muffin/bread if that makes any sense? But I'd say you would notice the egg a little, so if he is super sensitive to them he might not like them. I hope that helps! :)

    Just made these and they are delicious! I did sub Almond flour and they still turned out great. One suggestion is after chilling the mixture give it a quick stir. I just dug in and started scooping and found as I got to the bottom of the bowl there was excess egg mixture.

    These are great! Really easy and tasty. Didn't even add salt! On one hand, it's impossible to think they're so calorie dense for their size, on the other it means I have office lunch down packed for the month! Thank you! Your recipes never fail!

    Do you think I could leave this to chill for 2 or 3 hours in the fridge without affecting it? I will be in a little bit of a hurry this evening and thought I might make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge until time to cook

    I followed the directions exactly as they were, but I have a baking sheet full of liquidy goo after nearly 15 minutes.... The mix seemed very runny when I got it out of the fridge, but I was hopeful. Is it really just 1/3 cup of flour and 3 eggs?

      Amanda, we make these weekly with no issues. If you used extra large eggs that could be a problem but these come out perfectly for us. Coconut flour absorbs moisture pretty rapidly there is no reason why it would be runny if you let it chill.

    I used large eggs and almond flour. The flat "biscuits" were quite a hit with my 2 and 4 years olds! Lol The second batch, I added a heaping 1/4 cup of almond flour more and they turned out more full. Flavor was definitely on par though, so I'm making them again tonight! My kids have decided breakfast for dinner is their new favorite and the 4 year old specifically asked for these! :-) I'm in Texas, wonder if that has anything to do with the difference...
