Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces unsalted butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 items large eggs
- 1 item egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
Add shredded mozzarella cheese to the butter and cream cheese mixture, and microwave until fully melted and smooth, stirring at each interval.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix until combined.
Beat 3 large eggs and add them to the mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place the buns onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream to make an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly brioche buns!
