Cheesy Cheddar Poofs
Cheesy Cheddar Poofs
LOVE these cheesy bits for an appetizer. They go great while you are sipping your wine.
This is not a completely original Zola recipe. I saw a version very similar to this online and I just adjusted it to suit my tastes. The BEST low carb bites you could ask for. My guests raved! The person who designed this recipe didn’t take credit so I guess that person will remain anonymous but I am very grateful.
Servings: Makes about 18
Ingredients:
6 oz of cream cheese softened
2 cups of grated cheddar (in this recipe it will be worth it to buy a good block of cheddar and grate it yourself)
2 eggs
1 tsp of salt
¼ t of chili powder (or to taste)
½ cup of almond flour
olive oil cooking spray
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Then, in a medium bowl add your ingredients. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or spatula. Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until light brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. They will be about a quarter-inch thick and moist. Carefully remove them from the cookie sheet and serve warm or at room temperature.
If you want them to taste like the biscuits at Red Lobster, add a half teaspoon of garlic powder.
I can see myself making these with a combo of cheddar and blue cheese...
Or Gruyere...or Mozzarella and Parmesan combined. All would be very yummy!
If you want to make a stiffer cracker, squish the spoonfuls down gently with the bottom of a glass to flatten them before you bake them. Then keep a close eye as they bake. They will cool to a stiffer consistency and taste a lot like Cheez-Its.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
