Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add two of the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper to the flour mixture.
Mix until the dough comes together, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lightly flour a flat surface with almond flour and knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and use a cookie cutter or knife to cut into desired shapes.
Place the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with heavy cream to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your low carb savory cheese and herb pastry!
