Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 scrolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of cream cheese. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and fully combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the cheese mixture is melted, add the almond flour mixture to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the cheese and flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a little more almond flour until you achieve a workable consistency.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped cooked bacon into the dough, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.
- Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, creating a log shape. Make sure to roll it tightly to form well-defined scrolls.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the scrolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, remove the scrolls from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly snack or appetizer. Enjoy your Keto Cheese Bacon Scrolls!
Tips
- Prepping Your Ingredients: Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start. This will streamline the process and ensure you don't miss anything.
- Cheese Melting Technique: When melting the mozzarella and cream cheese, be patient and stir frequently. This will help achieve a smooth, creamy texture without any lumps.
- Dough Consistency: If your dough feels too sticky, don't hesitate to add a little extra almond flour. The right consistency is key for easy rolling and slicing.
- Rolling Technique: Roll your dough tightly to create well-defined scrolls. This will help them hold their shape during baking and give you that perfect spiral.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on your scrolls as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for a golden-brown color to ensure they are cooked to perfection.
- Serving Suggestions: These scrolls are fantastic on their own, but consider serving them with a side of ranch or marinara sauce for dipping to elevate your snack experience.Enjoy your cooking adventure with these Keto Cheese Bacon Scrolls, and savor every delicious bite!
