Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheeses are evenly distributed.
Add the egg, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a brush to coat your hands with a little butter to prevent sticking.
Take small portions of the dough and shape them into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
Once all the dough is shaped, gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
