Ingredients:

1 ½ cups chopped ham
3 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
¾ cup almond flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Mix the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix the chopped ham and softened cream cheese until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar, chopped jalapeño, beaten eggs, almond flour, and baking powder. Mix until a thick dough forms.

Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes. This step is essential to ensure the bites hold their shape during baking.

Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to form evenly-sized portions of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bite.
