Ingredients

• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Coconut oil or avocado oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and mostly smooth.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until a uniform dough forms.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the cheese mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 6

Dip each cheese ball into the beaten eggs, then roll in the almond flour mixture until completely coated.

Step 7

Heat the coconut or avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).

Step 8

Carefully place the cheese balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to crowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Step 10

Remove the fried cheese balls from the oil using a slotted spoon, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cheese balls, ensuring the oil temperature returns to 350°F (180°C) between batches.

Step 12

Serve warm, either plain or with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
