Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 3 large eggs (divided)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt the cheeses: Place the shredded cheese and cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds until the cheeses mostly melt. Stir well with a whisk until smooth, then allow the mixture to cool for several minutes to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- Mix the dough: Once the cheese mixture has cooled slightly, add the almond flour, two of the eggs, and optional baking powder. Stir thoroughly until a smooth dough forms, with no lumps remaining.
- Form the rolls: With clean hands, shape the dough into 10 evenly sized balls. Position these on the prepared baking tray to prepare for baking.
- Apply egg wash: Whisk the remaining egg separately. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the exterior of each dough ball with the egg wash. This step helps create a glossy, golden crust on the rolls.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the rolls warm. They pair wonderfully with butter, cheeses, or as a sandwich base.
Notes
- Use mozzarella for a milder flavor or cheddar for a sharper taste.
- The divided eggs mean two are mixed in the dough, and one is used for the egg wash.
- Baking powder is optional but helps the rolls rise slightly, making them fluffier.
- Allow the cheese mixture to cool before adding eggs to prevent them from cooking prematurely.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat rolls in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispness.
