How to Make It
Step 1
Add the mozzarella cheese to a bowl. Heat it in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Whisk to make sure that all the cheese has melted.
Step 2
To a large bowl, add the eggs and whisk them. Quickly add the melted mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and crumbled blue cheese. Combine all the ingredients using a spatula.
Step 3
Shape the dough into a rough ball, and smoothe it with the back of a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Transfer the dough to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180 Cº/ 350 F. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll them into balls, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately.
