KETO Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy

My favorite breakfast or brunch meal ever! 

This is my FANTASTIC low carb version. The biscuits are delicious on their own and can even be a great dinner roll too! This gravy is so satisfying I want to pour it over everything. I am a huge fan of lavender, and I am always finding ways to incorporate it into my food. My secret spice here that just gives this gravy and undeniable savory pop is Herbs de Provence with lavender. Do not skip this step. You can find the spice in most grocery stores.
