Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 8 slices Ham, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and easy to mix.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese, along with the two eggs. Mix well using a spatula or your hands to form a dough.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and top with another sheet. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into 8 squares.
Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese onto each square.
Fold the corners of each square to the center to enclose the filling, forming a parcel.
Place the keto croissants onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each with the beaten egg for a nice glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Croissant au Jambon warm.
