Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 large Egg
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (approx. 4.25 oz) Canned sardines in olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and continue to heat in 20-second intervals until completely melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
Break the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, stirring thoroughly until all the ingredients are completely incorporated.
Open the can of sardines, drain the oil, and gently flake the sardines using a fork. Add the sardines and chopped fresh parsley to the dough. Mix to incorporate evenly.
Using lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the buns with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
