Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ounce cream cheese
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 whole mozzarella cheese sticks
  • ½ cup crushed pork rinds

Instructions
 

  • Grate the mozzarella cheese.
  • In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, almond flour, and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds.
  • Add in the large egg then mix everything together. I like to use a silicone spatula because it doesn't stick to the dough.
  • Place the dough on a piece of parchment or wax paper. If the dough is acting a bit "wet" then I prefer to use wax paper.
  • Place a second piece of paper on the top then roll it out into a rectangle shape.
  • Cut the rectangle into 8 smaller rectangles.
  • Wrap the pieces of dough around the cheese sticks. You'll have to kind of mold the dough around and even roll it on the table a little to get the perfect shape.
  • Roll the cheese sticks in the crushed pork rinds. Press the rinds into the dough so that they stick.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes. They will look browned and spread out on the tray a bit. If you want them to be shaped more like mozzarella sticks then you can try deep frying these, or placing in the freezer for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve with Ruled.me ketchup or marinara sauce.
