Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs (plus 1 for egg wash)
- 1 ¼ cups blanched almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a food processor. Add almond flour, baking powder, and two eggs. Pulse until a thick dough forms.
- Lightly flour a surface with almond flour. Knead the dough a few times with wet hands, then divide into 6 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly into a bun shape.
- Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 14-17 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to the dough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in an oven for best texture.
