Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Preheat skillet on medium-high heat and add bacon. Fry until crispy on both sides and transfer to a plate.
To the skillet, add onion and bell pepper, fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl.
Chop bacon and add it to the bowl with veggies along with cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, green onion, baking powder, thyme, salt and pepper; then whisk. Add almond flour and coconut flour, stir with spatula until thick dough forms.
Using 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop the dough, press it in lightly and place on a baking sheet, leaving some room in between. Biscuits do not spread much. Sprinkle each with a bit of Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through and slightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy warm.

Notes

Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 5 days.
Freeze: Freeze in a resealable Ziploc bag for 3 months. Thaw on a counter for a few hours or pop into a microwave.
Reheat: I like to microwave a biscuit until warmed through, about 20-30 seconds. You can also reheat them in air fryer at 350 F for 5 minutes or in the oven at 375 F for 10 minutes.
Bacon: I like to use thick cut nitrate free applewood smoked bacon like this one because it adds a lot of flavor. You can use regular bacon but then use 4 strips.
