Ingredients
- 8 ounces cheese curds
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups coconut oil or avocado oil, for frying
- 0 optional ranch dressing or marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Begin by filling a heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer with coconut or avocado oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oil is heating, set up your breading station. In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the cheese curds dry with paper towels to help the coating stick.
Step 5
Dip each cheese curd into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Set aside on a baking sheet or plate.
Step 6
Once coated, carefully add a few cheese curds at a time into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan as this will reduce the oil temperature.
Step 7
Fry the curds for about 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining cheese curds.
Step 9
Serve the keto fried cheese curds hot, with optional ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping.
