Following a keto diet means bacon and cream cheese are your best friends, and these fat bombs deliver the goods with spicy serrano peppers and zesty lime.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ lime, zested and squeezed
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 serrano peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 4 sprigs cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place bacon strips onto the foil in a single layer.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, mix cream cheese, butter, and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Add lime zest, lime juice, and garlic. Fold in serrano pepper and refrigerate until chilled and stiff, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Divide chilled cream cheese mixture into 6 equal parts and roll into balls.
Step 5
Chop bacon and mix with cilantro in a bowl. Roll one fat bomb at a time in the bowl until well coated. Serve cold.
Tips
You can use your favorite shredded cheese in place of Cheddar.
