Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds flavor and richness; use freshly shredded to avoid additives.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (low-moisture) Creates a stretchy, airy texture when baked; avoid fresh mozzarella as it adds too much moisture.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Enhances flavor; optional but recommended for depth.
  • 1 tsp onion powder Adds savoriness to the puffs; can be adjusted or omitted based on preference.
  • ½ tsp paprika (smoked or sweet) Contributes a subtle smokiness or sweetness; adjust according to taste.
  • ¼ tsp black pepper Basic seasoning; taste before baking to adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • ¼ tsp salt Basic seasoning; taste before baking to adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • ¼ cup almond flour Provides structure and grip moisture; coconut flour is highly absorbent; use sparingly.
  • 1 large egg (room temp) Acts as binder and leavener; room temperature eggs mix better with cheese.
