Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave them together for about 45 seconds until melted, stirring halfway through.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg to the almond flour mixture and mix well.
Incorporate the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to knead the mixture until it becomes a dough. It might be sticky at first but keep kneading until it's smooth.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into small squares or crouton-sized pieces.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and brush it over the pieces of dough.
Carefully transfer the cut dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croutons turn golden brown and crisp.
Let them cool completely on the baking sheet; they will continue to harden as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
