Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. Stir until smooth.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until combined.
Add the egg to the dough and mix until a ball forms. You may need to knead the dough with your hands to ensure everything is well-incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, then form each rope into a pretzel shape on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the top of each pretzel with a bit of coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly cheese pretzels warm!
