Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Almond flour
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring until smooth.

Step 8

In another bowl, combine the almond flour with baking powder.

Step 9

Beat one egg and add it to the almond flour mixture, then pour in the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 10

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 11

Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 12

Gently roll the dough into a log, using the parchment paper to guide you.

Step 13

Seal the edges and transfer the burek log to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 14

Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the burek for a nice golden crust.

Step 15

Bake the burek in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your keto meat burek warm.
