Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 4 slices Deli turkey breast
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and mozzarella cheese until smooth and combined. Stir occasionally.
In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then add them to the flour mixture, combining thoroughly.
Pour the melted cheese and butter mixture into the flour and egg mixture. Stir until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap and form into a ball. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, divide the dough into four equal portions.
Roll each portion into a thin round shape and gently fold the dough over to form a crescent shape.
Place the crescent shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and a tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the dough to create a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow croissants to cool slightly before handling.
Slice the cooled croissants horizontally.
Spread a teaspoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant.
Layer 1 slice of turkey, 1 leaf of lettuce, 1 slice of tomato, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese onto the mayonnaise-topped croissant half.
Cover with the top half of the croissant and serve immediately.
