👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the crust
   Melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (microwave or stovetop).
   Stir in almond flour, egg, and salt. Knead until a soft dough forms.
   Chill 10 minutes for easy handling.

2. Cook the filling
   Heat butter in a pan. Add meat and cook until browned.
   Add onion (if using), garlic, mushrooms, and spices.
   Stir in cream or cream cheese. Cook until thick. Cool slightly.

3. Shape pies
   Roll dough between parchment paper.
   Cut circles. Spoon filling onto half, fold over, and seal edges.

4. Bake
   Place on lined tray. Brush with egg wash.
   Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden.

5. Rest & enjoy
   Let cool 5 minutes—crust gets even flakier ✨
