Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 6 slices thinly sliced ham
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, salt, and dry mustard powder to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms. It may be slightly sticky.
Step 4
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 12x8 inches using a rolling pin. If the dough is too sticky, slightly wet your hands or the rolling pin.
Step 5
Cut the dough into 6 equal squares using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
Step 6
On each square, place a slice of ham and a slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Fold one corner of the dough square over the filling to the opposite corner and press down to seal the edges, forming a triangle.
Step 8
Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Brush each croissant with the melted butter to enhance the flavor and provide a golden crust.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 11
Allow the croissants to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly cheese and ham croissants!
