Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture and then microwave for another 30 seconds, or until the mixture is melted and well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Add the almond flour mixture to the melted cheese mixture. Add the egg and mix until the ingredients form a dough. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands until smooth.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch rope and tie it into a knot. Place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the fresh parsley and salt.
Brush each knot with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
