Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and smooth, stirring halfway through.

Step 3

Quickly add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the melted cheeses. Mix until a uniform dough forms.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to around 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Step 5

Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into small circles, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 6

In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden. Stir in the chopped rosemary.

Step 7

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each cut dough round with the garlic and rosemary-infused olive oil.

Step 8

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese across the tops of the rounds.

Step 9

Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Allow the Crostino Dorato to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these low-carb delights warm!
