Recipe preparation for Cheesy Low-Carb Snacks

How to Make Cheesy Low-Carb Snacks

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and that perfect crispiness we’re all after.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine shredded cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until blended well—this is where the magic begins.

Add Eggs: Crack in the eggs and mix everything thoroughly until you form a thick dough-like consistency. Your muscles may feel the burn here, but it’ll be worth it!

Scoop the Mixture onto Baking Sheet: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Space them out evenly to allow for spreading.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. You’ll know they’re ready when your kitchen smells divine!

Cool and Enjoy!: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before devouring! These cheesy delights are best enjoyed warm but equally delicious at room temperature.
