Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
• 4 sandwiches Topping of choice (e.g., turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato)
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then return to the microwave for another 30 seconds until melted and smooth.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs to the cheese mixture, mixing until well combined to form a dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then shape them into pretzel-like buns with your hands.

Step 5

Arrange the buns on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with the egg wash, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Allow to cool slightly, then slice the buns in half horizontally.

Step 8

Assemble each sandwich by adding your toppings of choice (such as turkey, cheese, lettuce, and tomato) onto the bottom half of each pretzel bun.

Step 9

Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the top half of each bun, then place it on top of the filled bottom half to complete the sandwich.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb pretzel sandwich!
