Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cheese curds
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Pat dry the cheese curds with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
Dip each cheese curd into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the cheese curd in the almond flour mixture until it is evenly coated.
Carefully place the coated cheese curds into the hot oil, fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Fry the curds for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the coating is crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the curds from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while warm for best results.
