Keto Mozzarella Cheese “Ravioli” Bites

Ingredients:

• For the dough:
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Salt, to taste
• For the filling:
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
• For the dipping sauce:
  • ½ cup marinara sauce (low carb)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until melted and smooth.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Shape the Dough:
   • Roll the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and then flatten each ball into a small round disk.
   • Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each disk. Sprinkle with a little parmesan and fresh basil (optional).
   • Fold the dough over the filling to form a “ravioli” shape and pinch the edges to seal.
3. Cook the Bites:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
   • Carefully place the “ravioli” bites in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the mozzarella bites with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
