Servings: This recipe makes approximately 4 Keto Hot Pockets.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs

For the filling (suggested):

• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup diced bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture, followed by the eggs. Stir well until a dough forms. If the dough becomes too stiff, you can heat it briefly in the microwave to make it more pliable.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Place one portion on a sheet of parchment paper and cover it with another sheet. Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape, approximately ¼ inch thick.
6. Remove the top parchment paper sheet and layer the filling ingredients on one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal the pocket. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for the remaining dough portions and filling ingredients.
9. Transfer the Keto Hot Pockets to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Allow the hot pockets to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or pack them for a convenient on-the-go meal.
