Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Substitute with Gruyère for variety
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Swap for Monterey Jack for a milder taste
  • 1 large Egg For a vegan option, use flaxseed meal mixed with water
  • 1 cup Almond Flour You can use coconut flour instead, adjust liquid ratio
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Use fresh garlic for an intense flavor boost
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Substitute with finely chopped onions or shallots
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Try smoked paprika for a more robust flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to your preference for spiciness
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Reduce if using salted cheese

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend together the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the large egg until frothy. Add it to the cheese mixture and incorporate the almond flour gradually. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into small balls. Space them apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until they puff up and turn golden-brown.
  6. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
