Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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 on high for 1 minute, then stir and microwave for another 30 seconds until fully melted.

Step 3

Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well using a sturdy spoon until a dough forms.

Step 4

Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm).

Step 5

Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out discs of dough about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the gnocchi with the melted butter, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the gnocchi are golden brown on top.

Step 9

Allow the gnocchi to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
