Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until thoroughly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, crack a large egg and whisk it until the yolk and white are well combined. Pour it into the cheese blend and mix well.
  4. Add almond flour to your cheese and egg mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 12 snacks.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
