Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave them together for about 45 seconds until melted, stirring halfway through.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the egg to the almond flour mixture and mix well.

Step 5

Incorporate the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to knead the mixture until it becomes a dough. It might be sticky at first but keep kneading until it's smooth.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into small squares or crouton-sized pieces.

Step 8

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and brush it over the pieces of dough.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the cut dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croutons turn golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Let them cool completely on the baking sheet; they will continue to harden as they cool.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
