Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and smooth, stirring halfway through.
Quickly add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the melted cheeses. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to around 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into small circles, about 2 inches in diameter.
In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden. Stir in the chopped rosemary.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each cut dough round with the garlic and rosemary-infused olive oil.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese across the tops of the rounds.
Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow the Crostino Dorato to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-carb delights warm!
