Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.75 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 4 large Eggs
- 6 slices Cooked bacon strips
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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, and then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and combined.
Add the almond flour and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until well mixed. Add 1 of the eggs and continue mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a circle around 1/4 inch thick.
Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges start turning golden.
While the croissants bake, whisk the remaining 3 eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble until fully cooked, then remove from heat.
Remove the croissants from the oven. On each croissant, place a slice of cheddar cheese, a few spoonfuls of scrambled eggs, and 1.5 slices of cooked bacon. Top with the other half of each croissant.
Return the assembled croissants to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb bacon, egg, and cheese croissants!
