Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the Keto Crab Rangoons.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, lump crab meat, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 oz of cream cheese, and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  4. Once melted, add in the egg and mix using a spatula, kneading the dough until smooth.
  5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin rectangle, cutting it into 18 equal squares.
  6. Place about 1 tablespoon of the crab filling in the center of each square and fold to form a pyramid shape, sealing the edges.
  7. Arrange the assembled rangoons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the rangoons from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
