Ingredients
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim works best)
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 cup blanched almond flour (fine texture)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus extra for topping
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Heat in 30-second bursts until smooth and melted, stirring between each round.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Combine: Add the melted cheese mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth.
Shape the knots: Divide dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into a rope and tie into a knot. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Brush and bake: Mix melted butter with remaining garlic powder and salt. Brush knots generously, then bake for 14–16 minutes, until golden brown.
Finish: Brush again with melted butter, sprinkle with parsley and sea salt. Serve warm!
Notes
Coconut Flour Option: Substitute ¼ cup coconut flour for almond flour if nut-free. Add one extra egg for moisture.
Freezer Tip: Bake, cool, and freeze. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes for fresh flavor.
Flavor Boost: Add Parmesan or red pepper flakes to the butter mix for a bolder flavor.
Serving Ideas: Pair with keto marinara, creamy alfredo, or a crisp Caesar salad.
