First preheat your oven to 400F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl add the almond flour, baking powder and xanthan gum. Mix until well combined.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir. Then repeat 2-3 more times until the mozzarella is completely melted.
Next add the almond flour mixture and the beaten eggs to the melted cheese mixture and mix.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Press down slightly on each ball of dough to flatten them a bit. Brush the top of each bun with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the dried onion flakes, if using.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and serve as desired.

Expect this dough to be sticky. We find it helpful to use a small amount of cold water on your fingers while shaping the buns.
Let the cheese cool just slightly before adding the eggs. You want it to be warm and workable, but you don't want the heat from the cheese to cook the eggs.
Try to work quickly. If the cheese in the dough cools down too much it can make the dough too firm to work with. If that happens, knead it by hand to soften it up, or pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds.
Top your buns with granulated onion, or try sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning instead.
