Secret Ingredients? Nope, Just Cheese!
The magic of these buns lies in the melted cheese and almond flour base. It creates a unique dough that’s perfectly tender and flavorful. Plus, you can customize the cheese to your liking – mozzarella for mild, cheddar for a kick, or even provolone for a creamy twist.
Ready to Bake? Here’s How:
- Melt the cheese: Shredded cheese and cream cheese come together in a microwaveable bowl for a quick melt.
- Mix it up: Almond flour, baking powder, and eggs join the cheese party in a food processor.
- Shape and bake: Form the dough into buns, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional!), and bake until golden brown.
Tips for Bun Perfection:
- Warm cheese is key: Don’t overheat it, though, or you’ll cook the eggs!
- Bake in batches: If your oven is crowded, bake one tray at a time.
- Serve ’em warm: These buns are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
- Slider time? Make smaller buns and reduce the baking time.
Storage and Reheating:
Leftover buns stay fresh in the fridge for a week, or freeze them for up to 6 months. Reheat in the microwave or pan for a quick warm-up.
So ditch the lettuce wraps and grab your burger fix with these amazing keto hamburger buns! You deserve a delicious, low-carb treat.

Ingredients
Shredded cheese (Mozzarella recommended for its mild flavor; however, cheddar or provolone can be used for a more pronounced taste)
Cream cheese
Almond flour (for dusting and in the dough)
Eggs (2 for the dough and 1 for brushing)
Sesame seeds (for topping)
Directions
- Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt Cheese: Combine shredded cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring until mostly melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make Dough: Transfer the cheese mixture to a food processor. Add the dry ingredients and eggs, pulsing until you have a thick dough.
