Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 12 to 15 balls.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In another shallow bowl, place the almond flour.
Dip each cheese ball into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it entirely, then roll it in the almond flour to cover it completely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the cheese balls in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the cheese balls from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot as an appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
