Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour, egg, and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands until smooth.
Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and flatten each piece into a disc shape about 1/4 inch thick. Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the base is golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the bases are baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the baked bases from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each one with a spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, enjoying the fresh, flavorful combination of the cheese base and the vibrant tomato topping.
