Easy Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls

 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
• 6-8 slices of deli ham
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the cheeses are completely melted and well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead the dough with your hands to fully combine.

2. Assemble the Rolls:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Lay the ham slices evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham.
4. Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log, using the bottom parchment paper to help lift and roll.
5. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Bake the Rolls:

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
