Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined to create an even base for the puffs.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese, egg, and melted butter thoroughly to form a cohesive wet mixture.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  5. Form puffs: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each to allow for expansion during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the puffs turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let the cheese puffs cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to ensure they firm up and are easy to handle.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like garlic powder or paprika to the mixture.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a light and airy puff texture.
  • Almond flour brands vary in coarseness; finely ground almond flour yields better texture.
