Description

These Pork Cookies are a delightful savory twist on the traditional cookie, perfect for appetizers or a low-carb snack. Combining fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon bits, and a rich blend of cream cheese and Gouda, these bites offer a satisfying balance of textures and flavors. The savory elements are enhanced with garlic and onion powders, creating a robust taste that pairs well with the creamy cheese base. Ideal for parties, brunches, or as a quick meal prep option, these mini muffin-sized treats are easy to make and freeze well. They provide a comforting, hearty experience without the sweetness of dessert cookies, making them a unique addition to your culinary repertoire.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, melt the butter and coconut oil. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  4. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set but still soft. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
  5. Transfer the scrambled egg and bacon mixture to a large bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and shredded Gouda cheese. Mix until the cheeses are incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  6. Fold in the melted butter and coconut oil mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

Storage: Store cooled pork cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: For longer storage, place cooled cookies on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Variations: Try adding other cheeses like cheddar or feta for different flavor profiles. You can also add diced vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.

Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream.
