Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Nigella seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or until completely melted, stirring halfway through.
Stir the cheeses until smooth, then add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms; it may be sticky but should hold together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a small, flattened circle, about 1 cm thick, to form the Kaak.
Brush each piece with olive oil and sprinkle with nigella seeds and sesame seeds for added flavor.
Place the prepared Kaak on the lined baking sheet, ensuring enough space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your low-carb cheese kaak warm or at room temperature.
