Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 unit Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 0.25 cups Chopped cooked bacon or ham
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Cube the cold unsalted butter and add it to the flour mixture.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cream cheese and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, beat one large egg and add it to the mixture.
Mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form.
Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a cohesive dough is formed.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 4-inch squares.
In the center of each square, place a tablespoon of shredded cheese and a tablespoon of chopped cooked bacon or ham.
Brush the edges of each square with the egg wash.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together and sealing the edges by pressing them with a fork.
Place the assembled pastries on the lined baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Cool the pastries slightly before serving.
