Ingredients
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted and the cheese is starting to melt. Stir to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir to mix everything evenly.
Step 4
Add the egg to the cheese and butter mixture, and combine thoroughly until you have a smooth texture.
Step 5
Gradually add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. If the mixture is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour as needed.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and form them into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Step 7
Place the cheese balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff to allow for expansion.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese puffs are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your homemade low carb cheese puffs as a snack or side dish!
