Easy savory low carb, keto friendly Greek tiropitakia (cheese biscuits) wheat flour free, gluten free and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / Low carb
This is a recipe for the easiest keto tiropitakia!
The process is similar to the well-known (for those on a keto diet) "fathead" dough which has melted mozzarella as a main ingredient.
For these Greek cheese biscuits I use some other melting cheeses and not mozzarella which is a neutral and relatively tasteless cheese.
I had various cheeses in the fridge that had to be eaten not to get spoiled and so this recipe came about.
These tiropitakia are very tasty and you only need 30 minutes of your time including baking to make them.

The mixture is sticky.
