Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 clove Crushed garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 large Egg for wash
- 1 tablespoon Water for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 2 eggs, apple cider vinegar, and cold water. Pulse until the dough begins to clump together.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap. Form into a disc, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded cheese, crushed garlic, and chopped chives. Mix well.
Lightly flour a clean surface with almond flour and roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 6 equal squares.
Spoon an equal amount of the ham and cheese mixture into the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
Whisk together the remaining egg and tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush each pastry with the wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
Let the pastries cool on a rack before serving.
