Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds until cheese is fully melted and smooth.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Combine the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Add the egg to the mixture and knead with hands until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands slightly to make kneading easier.
Divide the dough into four equal portions, then roll each into a long rope (about 12 inches long).
Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the nuggets.
In a large skillet, bring 2 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.
Working in batches, drop the pretzel nuggets into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the nuggets with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Soft Pretzel Nuggets!
