Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then add it to the cheese and flour mixture.
Add melted butter, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly until a dough forms. If you have fresh parsley, add it now for extra flavor.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Remove the top parchment paper and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Gently twist each strip and place them on the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy the cheese twists warm or at room temperature as a snack or appetizer!
