Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
🧈 Ingredients
Main Dough:
-
4 large eggs
-
2 oz (56g) cream cheese, softened
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 tbsp beef gelatin (or 1 tbsp collagen powder)
-
2 tbsp butter or beef tallow (melted)
-
1 tsp baking powder (optional, helps them puff up)
-
½ tsp sea salt
Optional Flavor Boosters:
-
1 tsp garlic powder (if you’re not strict zero-carb)
-
1 tbsp grated parmesan for a crispier crust
-
Sprinkle of flake salt or bacon bits on top
🔥 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter/tallow.
2. Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 45–60 seconds).
Stir until smooth and stretchy.
3. Mix the Dough
-
In another bowl, beat eggs, gelatin, baking powder, and salt.
-
Pour in melted cheese mixture.
-
Add butter/tallow and mix until a sticky dough forms.
-
Use your hands or a spatula to knead it slightly while warm — it will come together like bread dough.
-
4. Shape the Rolls
-
Divide dough into 6 equal pieces.
-
Roll each into a smooth oval or round ball.
-
Place on your baking tray, spaced apart.
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden-brown on top.
Cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing or serving.
🍞 Texture Tips
-
For fluffier rolls: add one extra egg white.
-
For denser rolls: chill the dough for 10 minutes before shaping.
-
For a buttery crust: brush with melted butter after baking.
