Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silpat.
2. Place mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium sized microwaveable bowl and microwave for about 1.5 minutes. Stir to combine everything. Make sure all the cheese is melted.
3. In a separate bowl, add almond meal, 1 egg and xanthan gum. Mix until combined.
4. Add the hot cheese to the almond mixture and work them to into each other. Using a rubber spatula works, or wetting your hands and kneading it in the bowl. Mix until you have a homogeneous dough.
5. Portion dough into 4 balls and on a silpat or parchment paper, gently roll each one out to about 15″ log. Having wet hands will help from sticking to you!
6. Wrap one piece of dough around each hot dog.
7. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl to make your egg wash. Brush onto each dog.
8. Mix all of the spices into a medium bowl and dip each dog into it, covering the dough completely.
9. Place dogs on lined sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes, the dough should be slightly golden. Enjoy!
