Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Pepper
- 2 cups Coconut oil or another low smoke point oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are thoroughly combined and form a cohesive mixture.
Add the egg to the cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In another small bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Gradually add the almond flour mixture into the cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.
Once the mixture is ready, shape the cheese mixture into 1-inch balls. You should have approximately 24 cheese balls.
Place the grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Roll each cheese ball in the Parmesan to coat the outside.
In a deep skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Gently add the cheese balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the low carb crispy cheese balls warm and enjoy!
