Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces canned tuna
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute until melted, then stir until smooth.
Add the beaten egg to the cheese mixture and mix well, then stir in the almond flour mixture until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, roll each into a bun shape, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the buns are baking, drain the canned tuna and mix it with mayonnaise, celery, dill pickle, black pepper, and some salt to taste in a separate bowl.
Once the buns are baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them in half horizontally.
Fill each bun with the prepared tuna mixture and serve immediately.
