In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the cream cheese to the beaten eggs and whisk until smooth. The mixture should be as lump-free as possible.
Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until everything is well incorporated.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Pour some of the batter into the center of the pan to form a pancake that is about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set and a few bubbles appear on the surface.
Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes hot. Optionally, garnish with a low-carb syrup or fresh berries.
