Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (low-moisture)

Spices

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt

Flour and Eggs

  • ¼ cup almond flour (or 1 tbsp coconut flour + extra egg white)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, almond flour, and the large egg. Stir thoroughly until a dough forms. If the mixture is too wet, add an extra teaspoon of almond flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of cream or an additional egg white to help bind it.
  3. Shape the Dough: Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking, then roll the dough into 12 equal-sized balls roughly 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet spaced about 1 inch apart to allow for expansion while baking.
  4. Bake: Bake the cheese puffs in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and allow the snacks to cool for 5 minutes, during which time they will firm up and develop the perfect crispy texture.

Notes

  • Use low-moisture mozzarella cheese for best results; it melts and browns better than fresh mozzarella.
  • If substituting almond flour with coconut flour, increase moisture as coconut flour absorbs more liquid.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices like cayenne or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
  • These snacks are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Make sure your egg is at room temperature before mixing to ensure even dough consistency.
