Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Stir to combine.
Quickly add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir vigorously with a spatula or knead with your hands until you form a dough.
Add the egg and continue to mix until fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into four equal rectangles. Place a slice of ham and a quarter cup of cheddar cheese in the center of each rectangle.
Fold the edges of each rectangle over the filling to close the pastry. Seal the edges by pressing down gently or using a fork.
Brush the tops of each pastry with melted butter.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your low carb delight!
