Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cheese (Cheddar or Mozzarella Block)
• 0.5 cup Almond Flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 cup Avocado Oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cheese block into 1-inch cubes and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. This helps keep them from melting too quickly when frying.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.

Step 4

Dip each cheese cube into the beaten egg, making sure it's entirely coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Roll the cheese cube in the mixture until it's fully covered.

Step 5

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Carefully add the coated cheese cubes into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Fry the cheese cubes for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese cubes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
