Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces Full-fat cream cheese
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Zaatar spice mix
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Microwave the cheese mixture for about 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and zaatar spice mix to the melted cheese mixture.
Crack the egg into the mixture and stir until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to get it fully combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a ball.
Flatten each ball slightly and use a finger or a small bottle cap to poke a hole through the center, forming a ring shape.
Place the rings onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle the tops evenly with sesame seeds, pressing them gently into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the kaak are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the cheese kaak to cool on a wire rack just slightly before serving.
Enjoy as a breakfast treat or a savory snack!
