Ingredients

• 6 ounces canned tuna
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

• 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon dill pickle, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the beaten egg to the cheese mixture and mix well, then stir in the almond flour mixture until a dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, roll each into a bun shape, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 7

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the buns are baking, drain the canned tuna and mix it with mayonnaise, celery, dill pickle, black pepper, and some salt to taste in a separate bowl.

Step 9

Once the buns are baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them in half horizontally.

Step 10

Fill each bun with the prepared tuna mixture and serve immediately.
