A delicious low-carb bun with a crusty exterior and a soft, bready inside, perfect for burgers and sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 3 eggs, room temperature (1 of the eggs for an egg wash)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2

In a large microwavable bowl, add shredded mozzarella cheese (don't shred your own mozzarella because it will have more moisture) and cream cheese. Melt in 20-second intervals and stir. This should take around 40 seconds, but may take longer depending on your microwave settings.

3

Once you have stirred cheese together, add 2 room-temperature eggs, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Stir to incorporate all ingredients together.

4

Divide into 4 sections and form hamburger-sized buns on the baking sheet. Wetting your hands slightly will help prevent sticking when shaping. Sprinkle extra Italian seasoning on top if desired.

5

Make egg wash by adding a whole egg with a dash of water. You could also use two egg whites instead of one full yolk. Set aside.

6

Bake buns for 20 minutes. Halfway through baking, brush egg wash over the buns to get a nice golden texture. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool completely before slicing open. Enjoy!
