Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (solid)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 slices bacon
- 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Pour this into the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece out between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble once cooled.
In a medium bowl, mix the crumbled bacon, dairy-free cheese, and chives thoroughly.
Spoon an equal amount of the bacon mixture onto one half of each dough circle.
Carefully fold the dough over to create a turnover shape, pressing the edges together to seal.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
