Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 8 slices Ham, thinly sliced
• 8 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and easy to mix.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese, along with the two eggs. Mix well using a spatula or your hands to form a dough.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and top with another sheet. Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into 8 squares.

Step 6

Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese onto each square.

Step 7

Fold the corners of each square to the center to enclose the filling, forming a parcel.

Step 8

Place the keto croissants onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each with the beaten egg for a nice glaze.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Croissant au Jambon warm.
