Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Baking sheet
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg
  • 3 ounces cubed ham fully cooked
  • 1/4-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 350°F. It should be fully heated when the shaped pockets are ready to bake.
  • Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring after each 30-second interval. Stop when the cheeses are melted and blend into one smooth mixture.
  • Work the almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and baking powder into the melted cheese by hand. The mixture should gather into a cohesive dough without dry patches.
  • Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl, add the egg, and beat on high until incorporated. The dough should look uniform throughout.
  • Chill the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes. It should feel firmer and less sticky when handled.
  • Place the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment and roll it into a thin rectangle. Keep enough thickness for the dough to lift and fold without breaking.
  • Neaten the rectangle with a pizza cutter. Straight sides make the pockets easier to fold and seal.
  • Cut the dough into 4 long, narrow rectangles. Each rectangle needs enough space on one half for filling and on the other half to fold over it.
  • Set some fully cooked cubed ham and shredded cheddar on one half of each rectangle. Leave the outer edges clear for sealing.
  • Fold the bare half of each rectangle over its filling and press the edges shut with fork tines. The crimped seams should hold together all the way around.
  • Bake the pockets for 20 to 25 minutes. The crust and crimped rims should be browned and cooked through.

Notes

Texture tip: If the cheese dough warms up and turns sticky while handling, return it to the freezer briefly to firm up rather than adding more almond flour.
Sealing tip: Keep the filling away from the outer edges and press the seams firmly with fork tines to stop melted cheese from escaping in the oven.
Texture tip: Transfer the baked pockets to a wire cooling rack after baking so circulating air prevents steam from softening the bottom crust.
