Steps:

• Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Scrape the cheese into a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients and process until a dough forms. It is very sticky! If it's too sticky to handle, let it cool for a few minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 F and place rack into the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place cheap-o metal pan at the bottom of the oven.
• Divide into 5 equal pieces. Lightly oil hands and roll each portion into a ball. Drop onto the parchment paper and gently flatten slightly with your hand, while still retaining a domed shape. (You will have to experiment with how much to flatten because it's hard to explain accurately.)
• Place 6 ice cubes in the metal pan at the bottom of the oven. Then place the rolls into the oven. This will help the rolls rise and spread.
• Bake for 12 minutes or until the outside has browned. They will still be soft, so let them cool before removing from the baking sheet. Once cool, store in a bag in the refrigerator. Warm slightly to enjoy.
• Keep burger buns in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They keep for 7-10 days and also freeze well. Makes 5 small burger buns.*

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift the almond flour, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and salt into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the mozzarella and cream cheese and use your fingers to evenly distribute the cheeses. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Knead the mixture with your hands or stir with a rubber spatula briefly. Microwave again until the cheeses are melted and the dough looks smooth, 15 to 30 seconds more. Let stand until cool enough to handle, just a few minutes.
• Add all but 1 teaspoon of the egg to the dough and knead with your hands to incorporate. Sprinkle the dough with extra almond flour if it looks too sticky.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Moisten your hands and form each piece into a slightly domed patty about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with the remaining egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• Bake until light golden brown all over, 12 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then carefully slice through the middles with a serrated knife.
