Ingredients
Scale
Wrapper Dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the wonton wrappers.
- Melt Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted together.
- Mix Egg: Allow the melted cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add the large egg. Stir thoroughly until the egg is fully incorporated into the cheese mixture, ensuring an even dough texture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the almond flour and salt gradually until a soft dough forms. Make sure the dough is well combined and pliable for rolling out.
- Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly to mimic the thinness of traditional wonton wrappers, about 1-2 mm thickness.
- Cut Wrappers: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into squares resembling wonton wrappers, about 3 inches by 3 inches each.
- Use or Cook: Use the wrappers immediately to wrap your desired fillings. Then cook them according to your recipe either by baking (recommended at 350°F for 4-5 minutes), air frying, or pan-cooking as preferred.
Notes
- Keep the dough rolled thin so the wrappers fold easily like traditional wonton wrappers.
- You can refrigerate the dough for about 10-15 minutes for easier handling if it becomes too sticky or soft.
- These wrappers are best used fresh as they tend to dry out if stored for too long.
- If storing leftovers, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Adjust baking time depending on your preferred wrapper texture and thickness.
