  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

For the Filling:

  • 4 large eggs, scrambled

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Keto Dough

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the Cheeses:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
  3. Make the Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and beaten egg white.
    • Add the melted cheese mixture to the bowl and stir until the dough is smooth and combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  1. Scramble the Eggs:
    • In a skillet, scramble the 4 eggs over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cook the Bacon:
    • Cook the bacon slices in a skillet until crispy, then crumble them into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cheese:
    • Grate or shred cheddar cheese to use in the filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

  1. Shape the Dough:
    • Roll out the keto dough into a rectangle shape on the parchment paper (about 10×7 inches).
  2. Add the Filling:
    • Spread the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the dough.
    • Leave a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll and Seal:
    • Carefully roll the dough up from one edge into a log shape, pinching the sides to seal.

Step 4: Bake the Rolls

  1. Bake:
    • Place the roll onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 5: Serve
