Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir and microwave for another 30 seconds until fully melted.
Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well using a sturdy spoon until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm).
Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out discs of dough about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave.
Brush the tops of the gnocchi with the melted butter, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the gnocchi are golden brown on top.
Allow the gnocchi to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
