Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Coconut oil or lard (for frying)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and also add the egg. Mix with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky at first but will come together as you mix.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
After chilling, divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
In a deep skillet, heat the coconut oil or lard over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully lower a few dough balls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry each dough ball for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over and to remove them from the oil.
Place the fried dough balls on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy your low-carb delight!
