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

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  2. 2. Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese together for 1 minute until melted, then stir in the almond flour, Parmesan, and baking powder.
  3. 3. Mix in the beaten egg and knead the dough until it becomes as smooth as possible.
  4. 4. Fold in the crumbled queso fresco, distributing it evenly throughout, then divide the dough into sixteen golf-ball-sized portions and arrange on the prepared sheet.
  5. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  6. 5. Bake for 7-8 minutes until the tops turn golden brown, then cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
