Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 8 slices Sliced ham
• 8 slices Sliced cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until melted, stirring halfway through to combine.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the almond flour mixture to the melted cheese mixture and then add the eggs. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper. With wet hands, shape the dough into a long baguette-like loaf, about 12 inches in length.

Step 6

Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

While the bread is baking, prepare your fillings. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Carefully remove the baked bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing it in half horizontally to create a pocket for the fillings.

Step 9

Brush the interior of the bread with the melted butter. Layer the sliced ham and cheese inside the bread.

Step 10

Place the filled baguette back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve warm.
