Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20) look for grass-fed for richer flavor
- ½ cup white onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika adds depth and a subtle smokiness
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese use extra sharp for more boldness
- ¼ cup sliced dill pickles finely chopped
For the Dough:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour super-fine blanched variety
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 ½ cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese room temperature
- 1 large egg beaten
For Brushing:
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring until onions are translucent and mixture is fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Stir in shredded cheddar and chopped pickles into the cooled beef mixture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second bursts until fully melted and smooth, about 1–1.5 minutes.
- Stir almond flour, coconut flour, and beaten egg into the melted cheese mixture, kneading thoroughly until a dough forms. If sticky, refrigerate briefly or flour hands with almond flour while shaping.
- Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Flatten each into a disk and spoon 2–3 tablespoons of beef mixture into the center. Fold edges to seal and form a ball shape.
- Arrange bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 10 minutes helps greatly with manageability.
- For a spicy twist, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Use parchment or silicone mats to prevent sticking during baking.
