Ingredients:
2 large eggs
100g (about 1 1/2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat if preferred)
120g (about 1 cup) lean ham (avoid honey-glazed or sugary varieties)
1 roll of almond flour-based or low-carb puff pastry (look for keto-friendly options at your local store)
Method:

- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and diced lean ham to the eggs. Mix everything well to create the filling.
- Prepare the Low-Carb Puff Pastry Squares
- Unroll the almond flour-based or low-carb puff pastry on a clean surface.
- Cut the pastry into squares. Ensure that the squares are large enough to fold over the filling.
- Assemble the Pockets
- Place a teaspoon of the ham and cheese filling in the center of each low-carb puff pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create triangle or rectangle shapes, sealing the edges by pressing them together.
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to reach the desired baking temperature.
- Prepare the Baking Tray
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Brush with Egg Wash
- Arrange the assembled keto ham and cheese pockets on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush the tops of the pockets with a beaten egg for a nice golden finish.
- Bake
