Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is fully melted and well combined.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with the eggs. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Knead by hand to ensure a uniform texture.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 18 inches in length, and form each into a pretzel shape.
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Stir until dissolved.
Using a slotted spoon, gently dip each pretzel into the baking soda water for 15-20 seconds, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
