Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 6 slices thinly sliced ham
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, salt, and dry mustard powder to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms. It may be slightly sticky.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 12x8 inches using a rolling pin. If the dough is too sticky, slightly wet your hands or the rolling pin.
Cut the dough into 6 equal squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
On each square, place a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Fold one corner of the dough square over the filling to the opposite corner and press down to seal the edges, forming a triangle.
Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each croissant with the melted butter to enhance the flavor and provide a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the croissants to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly cheese and ham croissants!
