Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 4 slices Deli turkey breast
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 4 teaspoons Mayonnaise
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and mozzarella cheese until smooth and combined. Stir occasionally.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then add them to the flour mixture, combining thoroughly.

Step 5

Pour the melted cheese and butter mixture into the flour and egg mixture. Stir until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.

Step 6

Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap and form into a ball. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Once chilled, divide the dough into four equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a thin round shape and gently fold the dough over to form a crescent shape.

Step 9

Place the crescent shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and a tablespoon of water. Brush this mixture over the dough to create a shiny finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow croissants to cool slightly before handling.

Step 12

Slice the cooled croissants horizontally.

Step 13

Spread a teaspoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each croissant.

Step 14

Layer 1 slice of turkey, 1 leaf of lettuce, 1 slice of tomato, and 1 slice of cheddar cheese onto the mayonnaise-topped croissant half.

Step 15

Cover with the top half of the croissant and serve immediately.
