Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 3 large Egg
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheeses are melted and well combined. Stir to mix.

Step 3

Add almond flour, one egg, baking powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Knead the mixture until it forms a dough. If sticky, you may use wet hands or lightly oil your hands to help handle the dough.

Step 4

Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin, even layer about 12x12 inches in size.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining two eggs with crumbled feta cheese and cottage cheese to create the cheese filling.

Step 6

Spread the cheese filling evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a little space on the edges.

Step 7

Gently roll the dough starting from one end to form a log. Be cautious to keep the filling intact.

Step 8

Place the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter to create a golden crust.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Allow the Burek to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Burek sa Sirom.
