Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, then stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals until cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Add almond flour, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and onion powder to the melted cheese. Stir until well combined.
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead with your hands until it becomes a smooth, firm dough.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out 3 to 4-inch diameter circles.
In a medium bowl, mix the cheddar cheese and egg yolk to make the filling mixture.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling onto each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to make a semi-circle and seal the edges by pressing together with a fork.
Arrange samosas on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush each with melted butter.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow samosas to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
