Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Filling:
- ½ lb Bacon chopped
- 1 Small onion chopped
- 1 cup Sauerkraut well drained
- Salt
- Pepper
Dough:
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 ¼ cups Almond flour
- ¼ cup Coconut flour
- ¼ cup Almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Filling:
Cook bacon & onion until bacon is cooked, but not crispy.
Add sauerkraut to the pan, cook and stir well until bacon fat is absorbed and everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool.
Dough:
Measure mozzarella and cream cheese into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat - 45-60 seconds at a time - until cheese has melted.
Measure remaining dough ingredients into a food processor, blitz to combine. Add melted cheeses, pulse until well combined - you don’t want to see any sections of unmixed cream cheese, etc.
Assembly:
With wet hands, pinch off walnut-sized sections of dough – about 24 of them.
One at a time, flatten a piece of dough into a circle approximately 3" across – I like to do this in the palm of one hand. Place a 1 tablespoon mound of filling in the center of the circle.
Carefully pull up the edge of the circle up and around the filling, sealing the filling in (like a drawstring bag). Roll around between your hands a bit to get a uniform spherical shape, repeat with the rest of the dough/filling.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly before eating. Best served hot - fresh out of the oven or reheated... IF they last that long.
