Grain-Free Bacon Nuggets
My kids love finger food and they especially love finger food that they can help make! This is a very kid-friendly recipe. They can form the nuggets and roll them in the almond flour. We already make fish nuggets regularly, and one day when we ran out of salmon, I decided to try it with some bacon I had on hand. Brilliant! Bacon nuggets are now one of our regular favorites. I make a huge batch and freeze them.
Grain-Free Bacon Nuggets
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package bacon we use bacon from Butcher Box
- 2 pastured eggs
- ⅓ cup + 1 cup almond flour some go in the nuggets, some is the breading
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- Dash paprika
- ⅓ cup shredded raw parmesan
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet, do not overcook it. You want it cooked about 3/4 of the way…not crispy!
- Keep bacon grease in the pan, you will use it again later.
- In a large bowl add bacon, eggs, garlic, paprika, 1/3 cup almond flour, and cheese.
- Mix well.
- Using your hands, form into nugget shapes.
- Roll in the additional almond flour.
- Fry in the skillet with reserved bacon grease, about 2 minutes each side.
- Let cool on a plate with paper towels, to soak up excess grease.
- You can freeze them in a freezer bag.
A kid favorite!
- Serve with BBQ Sauce or Blue Cheese Dressing.
- These disappear super fast so I usually double or triple the batch.
