Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted and the cheese is starting to melt. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir to mix everything evenly.
Add the egg to the cheese and butter mixture, and combine thoroughly until you have a smooth texture.
Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. If the mixture is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour as needed.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and form them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Place the cheese balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your homemade low carb cheese puffs as a snack or side dish!
