  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Fresh onions can be used similarly.

  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground pepper is preferred for best flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), gather your equipment, and line the baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese along with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, crack a large egg and whisk it until frothy. Pour it into the cheese mixture and mix thoroughly.
  4. Introduce almond flour to the cheese and egg mixture, stirring until the dough reaches a thick consistency.
  5. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheet in tablespoon-sized portions, leaving space between each.
