Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Cheese curds
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Place the cheese curds in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you begin. This will help them hold their shape during frying.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Remove the cheese curds from the freezer. Dip each cheese curd into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Immediately roll the egg-coated cheese curd in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well. Repeat the process for all curds.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough before starting to fry the cheese curds.
Carefully place a few coated cheese curds into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for approximately 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried cheese curds from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining cheese curds, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain an even cooking temperature.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Fried Cheese Curds as a delightful appetizer or snack!
