Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, cold
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
• 1 large Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a food processor, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum. Pulse to mix.

Step 3

Add in the cold, cubed butter and cream cheese. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg yolk and pulse until combined. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough chills, prepare the filling by beating the eggs and whisking in cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and chives.

Step 7

Roll the chilled dough out on a lightly floured surface (use additional almond flour if needed) to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 8

Cut the dough into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.

Step 9

Place a spoonful of the egg mixture onto the center of each piece of dough.

Step 10

Fold each pastry piece over to enclose the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 11

Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 13

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
