Important Considerations, Tips, and Tricks
- Cheese Selection: Use high-quality cheeses for the best flavor. Cheddar and Parmesan work particularly well. Make sure to finely shred or grate the cheese to ensure even melting.
- Almond Flour: Almond flour is used to give the puffs structure without the carbs. Ensure it’s finely ground to achieve a smooth texture.
- Baking: Watch the puffs closely as they bake to prevent burning. They should be golden brown and crispy.
- Cooling: Let the puffs cool on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.
