Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 1 whole Large egg
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 250 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
Grate the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar, Parmesan, and cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, consistent mixture.
Fold in the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.
Once mixed, shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a plate.
In a frying pan, pour the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
Carefully place the cheese balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the cheese balls for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Fried Cheese Balls hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
