Equipment

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

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.
