Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 portion Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring until completely melted and well-mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the flour mixture and the eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. It will be sticky at first but will become less sticky as you knead it.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and knead gently until it's well combined and smooth.
Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking, into a large rectangle about 14 x 10 inches.
Brush the top of the dough lightly with the melted butter.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles by first cutting the rectangle in half lengthwise, and then cutting each half into 4 triangles.
Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle of dough gently toward the point to form a croissant shape.
Place each rolled croissant onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your keto low carb croissants!
