These high-protein Nacho Cheese Triangles are made with just 7 ingredients. They’re an easy savory scones recipe and also a great healthy breakfast recipe. We like to serve them as a gluten-free Super Bowl snack because they quiet the hunger of rowdy guests. Full of high-protein ingredients like almond flour, egg, and cheese, no one will guess that they’re gluten-free and low-carb because they taste so good!
I’ve been strictly gluten-free since 1998, when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Way back when in 2001, I went paleo and have been totally grain-free ever since. During that time I’ve created hundreds of easy grain-free recipes with as few ingredients as possible. Why? To save you time in the kitchen! These easy savory scones are another healthy recipe that you can whip up in minutes.
I hope you enjoy these gluten-free savory scones as much as we do!

No TV so no Superbowl, but I don’t care about football anyway, so no big deal! I made these with my daughter this afternoon and they’re super yummy! I did the dough in the food processor which integrated the cheese a bit more, then pressed them out a bit thinner. They’re delicious! Thanks for another wonderful recipe!

i love all your recipes and i’m very excited to try this one! i am sure you’re crazy busy but it would be so helpful to have the nutritional information for the recipes as well. i try to eat healthy, gluten free and low carb so a quick glance at the “label” would be awesome! i also think that other “low carbers” would be really happy with a lot of recipes from your site as well if it was indicated “low carb.” i know that low carb is not your ultimate intention but i think it goes hand in hand often with healthy, gluten-free recipes like yours. thanks for “listening!”

Elana, thank you so much for your excellent grain-free recipes! I finally found a source for organic almond flour, benefityourlife.com. They also have organic yacon syrup. Now that I can find the organic ingredients, I’ve bought your Almond Flour Cookbook, and am enjoying it very much! You are an inspiration!

I will try to make it with Manchego, sheep’s cheese, which I tolerate better. Looks delish! I might have to make it today to take to Shirley Braden’s meeting tonight!
JKMichelson says
I can make almond flour at home and will do.
Liz N says
I am totally making this on Sunday! I have all the ingredients at home, so there’s no excuses. I can’t wait to make this.
