Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 50 grams almond flour
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters coconut oil
Instructions
Prepare the breading station by placing almond flour on one plate and the grated Parmesan cheese mixed with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt on another plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Begin by dipping each cheese cube into the almond flour, coating it lightly.
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the egg and heavy cream mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Finally, roll the cheese cube in the Parmesan cheese and spice mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the coated cheese cubes on a tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully lower the cheese cubes into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
Fry the cheese cubes for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even frying.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese cubes and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Allow the fried cheese cubes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delightful low carb snack or appetizer.
