How to cook it

Cooking cue

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 350°F (or 320°F convection) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment.
  3. 2. Warm the mozzarella and cream cheese together in the microwave for about 1 minute or in a pan over gentle heat until melted but not bubbling.
  4. 3. Whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener, and yeast in a separate bowl.
  5. 4. Combine the melted cheese mixture with the dry ingredients and the whisked egg, mixing first with a fork then kneading by hand into a smooth dough ball.
  6. 5. Roll the dough between two parchment sheets to about 1/4 inch thickness, then cut into 3 rectangles and divide each into 2 long triangles for 6 total pieces.
  7. 6. Shape each triangle to roughly 19 cm in length, then roll from the wide end toward the point to form a crescent and arrange on the baking sheet; brush with melted butter if desired.
  8. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  9. 7. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and puffed, loosely covering with foil after 13-14 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
