Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Everything But The Bagels Seasoning, Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Beat two eggs until foamy. Then mix them with baking powder, salt, and cream cheese until combined.
- Place 1 tbsp of olive oil and shredded mozzarella cheese in a small pot over medium heat. Stir until the cheese is melted. Let it slightly cool, just for two minutes or so.
- Next, place only the eggs mixture into a food processor with a sharp blade. Then add melted mozzarella, and press until well combined. The result should be a smooth batter. If there are small pieces of cheese that are not combined it is ok.
- Add almond flour into the food processor pulse a few times until well combined. Then, transfer the dough to a large bowl. Add coconut flour and mix well.
- Use your hands to roll the dough into 12 small buns. Place them on the prepared baking tray and lightly flatten the top.
- Divide the remaining egg into whites and yolks, beat the yolk, and brush each bun with it, to give them a nice golden look. Next, sprinkle some sesame seeds or other seasoning on top of the buns.
- Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, or until the surface has cracked a little and they’re golden.
Notes
These low carb rolls are excellent when freshly made. After the first 24 hours, they tend to dry a little bit. They taste best when you reheat them in a toaster before serving.
To store in the refrigerator: Place cooled buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To store in the freezer: Place cooled buns in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
