Ingredients

• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Pepper
• 2 cups Coconut oil or another low smoke point oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are thoroughly combined and form a cohesive mixture.

Step 2

Add the egg to the cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In another small bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Gradually add the almond flour mixture into the cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 5

Once the mixture is ready, shape the cheese mixture into 1-inch balls. You should have approximately 24 cheese balls.

Step 6

Place the grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Roll each cheese ball in the Parmesan to coat the outside.

Step 7

In a deep skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Gently add the cheese balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the low carb crispy cheese balls warm and enjoy!
