Keto Pastry squares: two flavors for a tantalizing aperitif!
Indulge in the savory symphony of flavors with our gourmet keto pastry squares. Crafted with precision and passion, these Cheddar Bacon & Chive Delights are a testament to culinary finesse. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a meticulous fusion of almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt, create the perfect pastry base. Introduce cubes of cold unsalted butter, melding them with sour cream and a large egg until a harmonious dough emerges.
But the pièce de résistance lies in the layers of decadence that follow. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, and fresh chives atop the dough, intertwining each ingredient into a symphony of taste and texture. As the aroma of savory delight fills your kitchen, anticipate the golden crescendo that awaits after 20-25 minutes in the oven. Once cooled to perfection, slice into squares and savor each bite, a tantalizing prelude to your gastronomic journey.

With precision, incorporate cubes of cold unsalted butter, whisking in a large egg and fragrant vanilla extract until a sublime dough forms.
As the scent of anticipation fills the air, sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips and optional chopped pecans atop the dough, each morsel promising a symphony of indulgence. Bake with anticipation for 20-25 minutes until the golden crescendo of perfection is achieved.
