Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 6 egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces sliced ham, chopped
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella cheese by microwaving for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.
Mix the melted mozzarella cheese with the dry flour mixture and melted butter until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the dough until completely incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface (using almond flour), roll each part into a triangle shape.
Place a slice of ham and a small slice of cheddar cheese on each triangle, then gently roll from the base of the triangle to the tip, forming a croissant shape.
Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious and keto-friendly croissant!
