Keto Hot Pockets

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture, part skim)
• 5 tablespoons of cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of blanched almond flour (I prefer this brand)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper

For the Filling:

• 8 slices of gouda cheese
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives
• 8 ounces of sliced ham
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg, whisked

For the Garnish:

• Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional minute. Add eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
• Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Divide the dough into 8 portions and shape each into a ball. Roll each ball between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
• Place a slice of gouda in the center of each dough round, leaving some space around the edges. Sprinkle with chives. Add 1 ounce of ham to each, then top with a slice of cheddar cheese.
• Brush the dough edges with egg wash, fold over, and press to seal. Repeat for all 8 pockets.
• Arrange the ham and cheese pockets on a baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
