Ingredients:
6 pieces string cheese
1 large eggs beaten
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese the powdered kind in a can
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt coarse Kosher salt works best
- Cut string cheese in half crosswise.
- Beat 1 egg in small bowl. Set aside.
- Place almond flour, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in zipper sandwich bag. Shake bag to blend.
- Dip each piece of mozzarella into the beaten egg and then coat by shaking in the sandwich bag. Freeze for at least one hour.
- Heat oil in small frying pan to at least half inch high. Temperature of oil should be about 325-375°F. Higher temperatures tend to brown too quickly with cheese melting out. Air frying works too using a temperature of about 370 to 400°F for about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cook each coated piece of mozzarella in the hot oil until browned on all sides. Enjoy!
