Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 4 ounces sliced roast turkey breast
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 sliced avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds until completely melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope and shape into a pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the butter and brush over each pretzel. Sprinkle coarse salt on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the pretzels bake, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to make a sauce.
Once the pretzels are done, let them cool slightly, then slice each one horizontally.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the bottom halves of the pretzels.
Layer with slices of turkey, lettuce, and avocado.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the pretzel and serve immediately.
