Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 can (approx. 4.25 oz) Canned sardines in olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and continue to heat in 20-second intervals until completely melted and combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Break the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, stirring thoroughly until all the ingredients are completely incorporated.

Step 6

Open the can of sardines, drain the oil, and gently flake the sardines using a fork. Add the sardines and chopped fresh parsley to the dough. Mix to incorporate evenly.

Step 7

Using lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the buns with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
