Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Grated mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces Full-fat cream cheese
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Zaatar spice mix
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.

Step 3

Microwave the cheese mixture for about 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.

Step 4

Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and zaatar spice mix to the melted cheese mixture.

Step 5

Crack the egg into the mixture and stir until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands to get it fully combined.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a ball.

Step 7

Flatten each ball slightly and use a finger or a small bottle cap to poke a hole through the center, forming a ring shape.

Step 8

Place the rings onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Sprinkle the tops evenly with sesame seeds, pressing them gently into the dough.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the cheese kaak to cool on a wire rack just slightly before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy as a breakfast treat or a savory snack!
