Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Cream Cheese
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon (melted) Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese.
Microwave the cheese mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth dough-like consistency.
Let the cheese mixture cool for a minute, then add the egg and mix until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the cheese and egg mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a walnut, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the cheese puffs with the melted butter to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheese puffs to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve the keto cheese puffs warm as a delightful snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
