Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 2 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 Large Egg (for dough)
- 3/4 cup Fine Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 8 slices Thick-Cut Streaky Bacon, cooked crispy
- 4 Large Eggs (for scrambling), whisked lightly
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream (optional)
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, sliced or shredded
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha or Hot Sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth (about 90 seconds total). Stir well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Crack the large egg (for the dough) into the melted cheese mixture and whisk vigorously. Quickly fold in the dry ingredients until a uniform, sticky dough ball forms. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball and flatten gently into a disc about 2.5 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the bases for 12–15 minutes, or until puffy and lightly golden brown. Remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until extra crispy. Drain excess grease thoroughly and chop roughly. Set aside.
- Whisk the 4 large eggs with the heavy cream (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook in the same skillet over medium-low heat until just set—soft and fluffy, not dry.
- Make the Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and ACV.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each cooled biscuit base horizontally.
- Layer the Sliders: Spread a thin layer of the spicy aioli on both the top and bottom halves of each biscuit.
- Fill the bottom half of the biscuit with a spoonful of scrambled egg mixture, a generous pinch of crispy bacon, and a small slice of sharp cheddar.
- Optional Melting: Place the assembled sliders back onto the baking sheet (tops off) and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with the remaining biscuit halves, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve immediately.
