Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (such as oregano, rosemary, and thyme)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon 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 microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until melted. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, dried mixed herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with the egg and melted butter. Mix until a uniform dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands for a minute.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 6

On a piece of parchment paper, roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley evenly over the dough.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal squares.

Step 8

Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and firm to touch.

Step 9

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Savory Cheese and Herb Pastry warm or at room temperature.
