Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for brushing Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
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 cheese and 3 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until melted and easy to stir.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a large egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix all the ingredients well until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a flat surface until smooth. If the dough becomes sticky, dust your hands with a little almond flour.
Roll the dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick, on a piece of parchment paper. Slice the circle into 8 triangular wedges, similar to slicing a pizza.
In a small bowl, mix the diced cooked ham, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place a spoonful of the ham mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Carefully roll each triangle, starting from the wide end, to form a crescent shape.
Place each rolled Schinkengipfel onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each pastry with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
