Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 8 ounces Deli ham
• 1 optional Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese, unsalted butter, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Add the flour mixture to the melted cheese mixture and blend well. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the dough comes together. Knead gently with your hands if needed to fully incorporate.

Step 5

Place the dough between two large sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the rolled dough into 8 triangles, reminiscent of traditional croissant shapes.

Step 7

Place a slice of deli ham onto each triangle. Starting from the base of the triangle, roll up each croissant towards the pointed end.

Step 8

Arrange the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with egg wash for a golden finish, if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow cooling slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
