Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 6 egg whites
• 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces sliced ham, chopped
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella cheese by microwaving for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted.

Step 5

Mix the melted mozzarella cheese with the dry flour mixture and melted butter until a dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the dough until completely incorporated.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface (using almond flour), roll each part into a triangle shape.

Step 8

Place a slice of ham and a small slice of cheddar cheese on each triangle, then gently roll from the base of the triangle to the tip, forming a croissant shape.

Step 9

Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
