Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir to combine. If the cheese is not fully melted, microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
Add the egg to the almond flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour in the melted cheese mixture and knead the dough using your hands until a uniform dough forms. If the dough is sticky, lightly oil your hands to make it easier to handle.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
If desired, melt the butter and brush it over the baked dough balls, then sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy! Pair with a low-carb dipping sauce or serve plain as a delicious snack.
