Here's what you need...


  • 2 beaten eggs

  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour

  • 1/4 cup flax meal

  • 1/2 cup onion, finely minced

  • 2 Tablespoons coconut milk, canned, full fat

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  1. In a large bowl combine eggs, almond flour, flax meal, onion, coconut milk, Dijon, and pepper. Add ground ham and ground pork; mix well. Shape into 18 balls, using about 1/4 cup mixture for each ball. Place ham balls in a lightly greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
