Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans canned sardines in olive oil
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the sardines well and pat them dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mash the sardines with a fork, then add lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals until both are melted and can be easily mixed together.
Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper into the cheese mixture. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Add the egg to the dough and knead it until it is fully incorporated, forming a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Flatten each piece of dough into a small disc, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the sardine mixture into the center of each dough disc. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, forming a puff. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling from spilling out.
Place the sardine puffs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Sardine Puffs as a savory snack or appetizer.
