Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in sour cream and melted butter until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Stir in shredded cheddar, chives, parsley, and black pepper if using until evenly distributed.
Lightly dust a surface with almond flour and pat dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges and place on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a satisfying low-carb snack or alongside your favorite high-protein meals.
