Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with 8 paper liners.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Fold the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the dough equally among the prepared muffin liners, filling each with the dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the ensaimadas to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
