Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Cover the cream cheese with mozzarella to prevent it from overcooking. Microwave the cheeses in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until they are completely melted and form a uniform cheese dough. This should take about 2-2 ½ minutes total. Be cautious not to overcook the cheese.
- Transfer the melted cheese mixture, 2 eggs (reserve 1 for the egg wash), and almond flour mixture to a food processor fitted with a dough blade attachment. Pulse on high speed until the dough is uniform. Note that the dough will be quite sticky, which is normal.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 3/4-inch wide pieces. You should have enough dough for approximately 74 bites. Place the dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a bowl, whisk the remaining egg. Brush the surface of the pretzel bites with the egg wash, then sprinkle the tops with coarse salt.
- Bake the pretzel bites for 12 minutes, turning the pan around at the 6-minute mark for even baking.
- Once baked, remove the pretzel bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your keto pretzels and cheese with your choice of cheese dip
