Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble once cooled.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the cheeses are melted and smooth.

Step 4

Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and one egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix everything together to form a dough. It may help to knead the dough with your hands until well combined.

Step 5

On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg. Brush a thin layer of the beaten egg over the rolled-out dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over half of the dough rectangle.

Step 8

Gently fold the other half of the dough over the cheese and bacon filling, sealing the edges by pressing down with a fork.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the turnover onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the top of the turnover with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a bit of black pepper.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into desired portions. Serve warm.
