Low-Carb Cheese Buns
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Almond flour | 1 1/2 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 2 cups |
| Cream cheese | 2 ounces |
| Large eggs | 2 |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |
How To Make Low-Carb Cheese Buns:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat again for 30 seconds until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Add the melted cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well, then add the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Continue mixing — kneading with your hands if needed — until a smooth dough forms.
Step 5: Shape the Buns
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each piece into a round bun.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the buns on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and slightly firm on the outside.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the buns cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re absolutely delicious when warm — perfect as a side for soups, salads, or just enjoyed on their own.
