Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free fruit preserves (optional for sweet filling)
- 0.5 cup Cooked sausage or ham pieces (optional for savory filling)
- 2 ounces Cream cheese (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia or low-carb sweetener.
To the melted cheese mixture, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir quickly to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the cheese and egg mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough if necessary. The dough will be sticky but manageable.
Divide the dough into 8 equally sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm, creating a shallow indentation in the center for the filling.
For sweet kolaches, spoon a small amount of sugar-free fruit preserves into the center of each pastry. For savory kolaches, add a small amount of sausage or ham and a dollop of cream cheese to the center.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the kolaches are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
