Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Seed or nut milk (optional for dough brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 triangles, similar to traditional croissant shapes.
Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each triangle.
Starting from the wide end, gently roll each dough triangle towards the pointed ends to form croissants.
Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each croissant with seed or nut milk if desired for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb croissant ham and cheese warm!
