Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (such as oregano, rosemary, and thyme)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until melted. Stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, dried mixed herbs, salt, and pepper.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg and melted butter. Mix until a uniform dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands for a minute.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley evenly over the dough.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and firm to touch.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Savory Cheese and Herb Pastry warm or at room temperature.
