This recipe delivers a “wow” result with a rustic look and a professional flavor profile.
Ingredients
• The Flourless Base: 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella and 2 oz Cream Cheese (the “magic” duo for a dough-like texture without grains).
• The Bind: 1 large Egg and 1 cup Almond Flour.
• The “Wow” Aromatics: 2 cloves Garlic (minced), 1 tbsp fresh Parsley (chopped), and 1 tsp dried Oregano.
• The Golden Finish: A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top before baking (as seen in the beautiful crusty texture of your photo).
• Seasoning: A pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper.
Preparation Steps
1. The “Velvety” Melt: In a glass bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in the microwave for 45–60 seconds until smooth and pliable.
2. The Mix: Stir in the egg, almond flour, minced garlic, and herbs until a soft dough forms.
3. The Shape: Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet, exactly like the uniform “clouds” shown in your picture.
4. The Artistic Touch: Top each disc with a bit more fresh parsley and a dusting of Parmesan for that professional “bakery-perfect” look.
5. Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until the edges are a rustic golden brown and the centers are firm.
6. Serve: Let them cool on a wire rack for 2 minutes—if you can wait that long!—to achieve that “steakhouse-quality” crunch.
