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:

  1. Prepare the Filling
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk the two large eggs until well beaten.
    • Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and diced lean ham to the eggs. Mix everything well to create the filling.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

 

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) to reach the desired baking temperature.
  2. Prepare the Baking Tray
    • Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake
    • Place the baking tray with the pockets in the preheated oven.
    • Bake at 190°C (375°F) for approximately 20 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown and puffed.
