Ingredients:
Dough:
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
2 ounces of cream cheese
1 and 1/2 cups of almond flour
2 large eggs
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Garlic Butter:
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3 minced garlic cloves
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to warm up. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cheeses are melted and can be easily stirred together. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine the cheese mixture and eggs with the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you may need to knead it by hand until it’s smooth and cohesive.
Shape the Knots:
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope, then form each rope into a knot. Arrange the knots on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Knots:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the knots turn golden brown.
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
While the knots are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to brown the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Coat the Knots:
Once the knots are done baking, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. For extra flavor, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top if desired.
Serve:
Serve the knots warm and enjoy! These low-carb garlic knots are a delicious alternative to the traditional version, bursting with flavor from the garlic butter and Parmesan.
