Ingredients
- 8 ounces cheese curds
- 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
- 1 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the cheese curds with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
Step 5
Dip each cheese curd into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Roll the cheese curd in the almond flour mixture until it is evenly coated.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated cheese curds into the hot oil, fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 8
Fry the curds for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the coating is crispy.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the curds from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately while warm for best results.
