Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100g
• Cream cheese - 100g
• Eggs - 2 large
• Feta cheese - 75g, crumbled
• Mozzarella cheese - 75g, shredded
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cream cheese, 1 egg, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and flatten each portion into a round shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spoon the cheese mixture onto one half of each round, leaving a small border around the edge.
6. Fold the other half of the dough over the cheese filling to create a pocket and press the edges to seal.
7. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of each pastry to give it a golden color.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
