Ingredients
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheddar, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then pour it into the cheese mixture. Add almond flour and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop small portions onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crisp.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving to let them firm up and get crispier.
Notes
Swap cheddar for pepper jack, gouda, or gruyere for different flavors.
Add cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Cool completely on a wire rack to keep them crunchy.
