Ingredients
- 200 grams cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 50 grams almond flour
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 250 milliliters coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the breading station by placing almond flour on one plate and the grated Parmesan cheese mixed with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt on another plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 3
Begin by dipping each cheese cube into the almond flour, coating it lightly.
Step 4
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the egg and heavy cream mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 5
Finally, roll the cheese cube in the Parmesan cheese and spice mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Step 6
Place the coated cheese cubes on a tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Step 7
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully lower the cheese cubes into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
Step 9
Fry the cheese cubes for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even frying.
Step 10
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese cubes and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 11
Allow the fried cheese cubes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delightful low carb snack or appetizer.
