This is a classic instance of taking something lovely–like biscuits—making them even better–by adding cheese. And THEN, just because you are so extra, cooking them in an air fryer so that you don’t heat up a full-size oven or your kitchen.
If you love cheese as much as I do, these air fryer cheese biscuits are the perfect recipe for you. I’m obsessed with cheese and anything with a cheesy flavor. It’s especially amazing when a recipe is not only easy to prepare but also quick to cook.
I’m pretty sure I’ve made these countless times because they are so easy to toss together that they make a great go-to recipe for a delicious side or snack.
These air fryer biscuits can be addicting which means it’s not hard to eat a lot of them. I’ve caught myself nibbling even while putting them together.
Why You Should Make Air Fryer Biscuits
Isn’t the air fryer amazing and versatile with all it can cook and do? I’m still amazed at all the recipes I can throw in the air fryer and then get amazed one more time when I pull that recipe out and it’s even better than before.
These Cheese Biscuits were very savory and had a slight crisp to the outside of them. These aren’t like cheese curds where they’re a ball of cheese fried. These are more bread-like, kind of like a mini cheesy roll of sorts. However you like to describe them, they’re delicious.
How To Make Air Fryer Biscuits
This cheese biscuits recipe is so incredibly simple and you’ll love that you don’t have to wait for your whole oven to preheat before you can start baking!
Here’s how you do it:
- In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, cayenne, smoked paprika, and black pepper and garlic powder, if using. Pulse to combine.
- Add the butter and cheese and process until the dough is smooth and has the texture of play clay. (Or, make the dough in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 32 small cheese balls. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 16 drops in the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 330°F for 10 minutes or until drops are just starting to brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Cool cheese drops completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Tips and Tricks for Making these Air Fryer Biscuits
- Use cold butter to get the lightest texture for these biscuits. You are essentially making a quick pastry dough to put these together.
- If you want to freeze these I would suggest that you bake them first and then freeze them. Alternatively, you can form them into the little biscuits and put them on a cookie sheet and freeze them that way. Once they’re frozen, put them in a ziptop bag and freeze. You can bake them from frozen, but you may have to add a minute or two to the total baking time.
- If you plan to make these in the oven, try 350F for 12 minutes as a starting point.
Do Cheese Biscuits Need To Be Refrigerated?
If you’re planning on making enough cheese biscuits for leftovers, you may want to refrigerate them in an air-tight container.
However, if you’re planning on using them as a side dish or a quick snack between meals, they are safe to store at room temperature for up to three days.
Can You Cook Canned Biscuits In An Air Fryer?
Yes, you can absolutely cook canned biscuits in your air fryer, but with these amazing Keto Cheesy Biscuits , why would you want to? The flavor in these is absolutely amazing and they take just a few more minutes than canned biscuits to throw together.

These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with almond flour are light, moist, and just perfectly tasty. Absolutely delicious, low carb, keto, and gluten-free .
Why You’re Going To Love These Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
- Easy. Just mix all of the ingredients and bake.
- Low Carb . Only 1 net carb per serving.
- Gluten-Free . A great dessert for anyone with a gluten allergy.
When I made my delicious Keto Almond Carrot Cake recipe, it was so good that we ate it a little too quickly. So I figured it was a good idea not to make any more for awhile.
So I just made Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Ricotta instead. Haha!
For this recipe, I used True Lemon in packets. I am not sure how much the True Lemon added to this, or whether I’d just try lemon juice next time, but what I do know is that the Ricotta makes it quite creamy and delicious.
I was surprised by their lightness and the crumb they yielded, which isn’t always easy with gluten-free baking.
How Do You Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins From Scratch?
- Put everything together in a bowl and beat until fluffy.
- Line a cupcake pan with silicone cupcake liners.
- Pour the batter into a muffin pan, making sure to distribute the batter evenly across the pan’s cups.
- Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes until done.
- Allow them to cool slightly before removing the liners.
Step 1: Put all ingredients together in a large bowl .
Step 2: Look at those gorgeous eggs! I just had to show you the eggs.
Step 3: Beat until fluffy.
Step 4: Line a muffin pan with paper liners and divide the batter evenly.
Step 5: Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes until done.
Step 6: Try not to eat them all by yourself. Sharing is caring!
Why Use Ricotta Cheese?
Basically what you are getting when using ricotta cheese is the moistness and fat. Acidity and fat combine together to help baking doughs rise. The lemon in this adds the requisite acidity. The ricotta cheese add some moistness and fat.
Using ricotta cheese is a nice change from using cream cheese or regular cream in a recipe. It also adds a slightly creamy mouthfeel feel that’s actually quite pleasant, which is especially enjoyable in this recipe.
Also, ricotta cheese is lower in carbs than cream cheese. And when you’re counting carbs in your diet, those little differences in carb content add up!

Tips and Tricks for Making the Best Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
- You can check whether they’re done baking by inserting either a toothpick or a knife into the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean, they’re done.
- I used silicone cupcake liners so they’d pop out easily, but I suspect they might have anyway. However, I always err on the side of caution when baking, as no one wants their baked goods falling apart when taking them out of the pan!
- Though I used True Lemon packets in this recipe, I think lemon juice and lemon zest would do equally well. Feel free to experiment with it and let me know how it came out in the comments!
- Though this recipe is for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, you can use other flavors such as orange extract or almond to make the same basic recipe 100 different ways. The possibilities are limitless!
