Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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 on high for 1 minute, stir, and then microwave for an additional 30 seconds if needed, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the melted cheese along with two of the eggs. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. It's easiest to use your hands to knead the dough until it's well mixed.
Step 5
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Cut the dough into four equal triangles.
Step 7
Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each triangle of dough.
Step 8
Carefully roll the dough from the wider edge towards the point, forming a croissant shape. Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash to help them brown.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving warm.
