Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large egg
- 6 slices sliced ham
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and easily combined. Stir well.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour and baking powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture along with the salt, garlic powder, and one of the eggs. Knead the dough until smooth and well incorporated. It might be a bit sticky, so dampen your hands if necessary to handle it.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 6 equal triangles as you would for traditional croissants.
Place a slice of ham at the wide end of each triangle and carefully roll the dough over the ham towards the tip to simulate a croissant shape.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the unsalted butter and brush it over the top of each croissant.
Beat the remaining egg and brush it on top of each croissant for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving.
