Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and then microwave for an additional 30 seconds if needed, until completely melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Add the flour mixture to the melted cheese along with two of the eggs. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. It's easiest to use your hands to knead the dough until it's well mixed.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Cut the dough into four equal triangles.
Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each triangle of dough.
Carefully roll the dough from the wider edge towards the point, forming a croissant shape. Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving warm.
