| Delicious little appetizers that the entire family can enjoy. |
parchment paper
20 mini uncured beef cocktail frankfurters**
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated (1 cup)
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 1/2 cups almond flour
2 organic eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) very finely grated parmesan cheese
"Everything But The Bagel" seasoning***
Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the cocktail franks and pat dry. Set aside.
Place the cheeses in a glass (or microwave safe) bowl. Heat in a microwave oven, at 30 second intervals, until the cheeses are melted. Add the flour, eggs and baking powder to
the cheeses. Use a large fork to stir until all are well combined.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Divide each portion into ten balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and flatten into oval shapes, long enough to wrap around each frankfurter. Sprinkle a tiny bit of the parmesan cheese on top of the dough ovals. Wrap the dough over the center of each frank, leaving the ends peeking out. Sprinkle the tops of the appetizers with the seasoning. Press lightly into the dough.
Bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and cook for another 6 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce. Makes 5 servings.
**I used Boars's Head brand uncured, nitrate & nitrite free cocktail franks, but any natural low carb cocktail franks may be used.
***I use Trader Joe's brand "Everything but the Bagel Sesame seasoning blend, because I like the taste and it contains zero carbs.

Notes: My family loved these and were surprised that they were Keto.
They are perfect to serve as an appetizer, brunch & game day fare or at a cocktail party.
