Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F and place a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, beat 1 large egg; set aside a small amount of the beaten egg if you want to brush the buns before baking.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 ounce cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave an additional 30 seconds. Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and smooth (heat in short additional bursts if needed).
• In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup finely ground almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon baking powder.
• Add the remaining beaten egg to the melted cheese, then add the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until fully blended into a sticky dough.
• Lightly oil your hands. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a bun on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
• If desired, brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg and sprinkle with white sesame seeds (optional).
• Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the buns are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
