Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°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, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds until the mixture is completely melted and combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together.
Add the flour mixture and beaten egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. You might need to knead it with your hands to ensure it's smooth and uniform.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 8 inches long and tie into a knot.
In a large bowl, dissolve the baking soda in boiling water.
Dip each pretzel knot into the boiling water mixture for 5-10 seconds, then remove and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the knots with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Allow the pretzel knots to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture.
