Reading Time: 2 minutesThis paleo savory biscuit recipe is from Lela Buttery, author of We Can Do Butter. According to Lela: “This recipe is a play on a breakfast biscuit I grew up with. Being from the South where anything is acceptable when served on a biscuit — from bacon, eggs and cheese to fried chicken — I attempted to reinvent a healthy paleo rendition of this nostalgic breakfast staple.”

How to Create Your Savory Mix
This is one example of a savory recipe. Use this idea as a “building block” by replacing or substituting proteins, vegetables, and herbs. A few examples: chicken, apple, and rosemary; sausage, sage and carrots; buffalo sausage and broccoli; lamb, rosemary, and sweet potato.
Green Eggs and Ham
- 1/2lb bacon seared soft (reserve rendered fat for the biscuit)
- 1/2 leek, cut into thumb sized pieces
- 1 small bunch of basil (1-2 sprigs)
In a food processor pulse leeks, then add basil and bacon. Use mixture as needed for your savory paleo biscuit.
