Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, egg, and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well until a dough forms. If necessary, knead the dough with your hands until smooth.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and flatten each piece into a disc shape about 1/4 inch thick. Place the discs on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the base is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 6

While the bases are baking, prepare the topping. In a medium bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Remove the baked bases from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each one with a spoonful of the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, enjoying the fresh, flavorful combination of the cheese base and the vibrant tomato topping.
