Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Nigella seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or until completely melted, stirring halfway through.
Step 3
Stir the cheeses until smooth, then add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms; it may be sticky but should hold together.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a small, flattened circle, about 1 cm thick, to form the Kaak.
Step 5
Brush each piece with olive oil and sprinkle with nigella seeds and sesame seeds for added flavor.
Step 6
Place the prepared Kaak on the lined baking sheet, ensuring enough space between each piece.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-carb cheese kaak warm or at room temperature.
