Cooking cue

Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 300°F and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  2. 2. Pulse almond flour, coconut flour, salt, xanthan gum, garlic powder, and cayenne (if using) in a food processor to combine.
  3. 3. Add softened butter pieces, grated room-temperature cheddar, and egg yolk to the processor; pulse until dough forms a cohesive ball.
  4. 4. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and pipe 3-inch lines onto prepared sheets, spacing them close together since they don't spread.
  5. 5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until just golden brown, then turn off oven and let straws rest inside for 5 more minutes, watching carefully to prevent over-browning.
  6. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  7. 6. Cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
