Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 12 to 15 balls.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In another shallow bowl, place the almond flour.
Step 4
Dip each cheese ball into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it entirely, then roll it in the almond flour to cover it completely.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Fry the cheese balls in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Step 7
Remove the cheese balls from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot as an appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
