These decadent, cheesy twists are full of yummy pesto flavor. Mozzarella meets bright herbs with the satisfying, golden bread-like crust. Bite into these for a quick keto snack or a perfect side dish with dinner. Or serve up as a platter of keto appetizers at your next cocktail party.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 oz. butter
- 6½ oz. shredded cheese, preferably mozzarella
- ¼ cup green pesto
- 1 egg, beaten, for brushing the top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg and combine.
- Melt the butter and the cheese together in a pot on low heat. Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Slowly add the butter-cheese batter to the dry mixture bowl and mix together into a firm dough.
- Place the dough on parchment paper at is the size of a rectangular cookie sheet. Use a rolling pin and make a rectangle, about 1/5-inch (5 mm) thick.
- Spread pesto on top and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) strips. Twist them and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush twists with the whisked egg.
- Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Tip!
If your dough seems to be sticky, place between two sheets of parchment paper before using the rolling pin. Once you've rolled it out, remove the upper piece of parchment paper.
If you are having trouble twisting, or want a different look from the twist, use a cookie cutter to cut out two similar shapes and spread the pesto in between, like a sandwich or cookie filling. Place on the parchment and bake.
Out of pesto? No problem. Sub in any of your favorite spices. Paprika powder, chili, curry, cumin or herbs like thyme, oregano and basil all work well. Or have a melted cheese filling by layering a bit of shredded cheese instead of pesto.
For a little extra variety, try substituting a little parmesan for some of the mozzarella.
Try This Odd “Carb Trick” To Burn Up To 1 Pound Per Day.
”All this by Flavor-Pairing?” I asked.
I met an old friend for lunch last month and I was super impressed with how good she looked.
She said, “It’s not so much about the Flavor-Pairing, but more about how it re-awakens what the Custom Keto Diet call, ‘the weight loss doubling molecule’ which signals 22-hour a day fat-burning effect in the female body.”
Even though I was skeptical, I’ve been struggling with my weight over the last few years, so I gave it a shot and watched the same video she did.
Well, it’s only a couple weeks later and you know what they say about how “you can’t transform your body overnight”…
They’re right – it actually took me 16 days to lose 22 pounds.
Now it’s my girlfriends asking ME what I’M doing differently 💅
