Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 small, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Avocado or olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the dough by melting the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for about 1 minute, stir, and then heat for another 30 seconds until smooth.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted cheese mixture with almond flour and eggs. Mix until it forms a smooth but slightly sticky dough. You may need to knead it with your hands.
Step 3
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add ground beef, onion, and garlic, and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
Step 5
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 6
Divide the chilled dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each piece between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Place a generous scoop of the meat filling on one half of each circle, leaving a border around the edge. Fold the dough over and press the edges together, crimping them with a fork to seal.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat avocado or olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chebureks, one or two at a time, until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 9
Remove with a slotted spatula and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Low Carb Cheburek!
