Keto Breaded Cheese Bombs are the ideal low-carb snack for anyone who wants something crunchy on the exterior but gooey on the inside. Prepare these bite-sized snacks with mozzarella cubes that melt wonderfully when heated, and then we cover these bombs in a golden coating of almond flour, Parmesan, & seasonings. The mix results in a crispy exterior that complements the thick, stretchy cheese interior. These Keto Breaded Cheese Bombs are grain-free and keto-friendly, so you can eat them guiltlessly, unlike traditional fried cheese bits. Serve these cheese bombs with your preferred keto sauce, like marinara or ranch, to make them more flavorful.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella is the centerpiece of this dish, providing a gooey, flexible center when you bite in. Utilize whole milk mozzarella to achieve the finest melt and flavor.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour substitutes for typical breadcrumbs while keeping the coating low in carbohydrates. It imparts a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with cheese.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan crisps up well in the oven, so it prepares the crisp cheese bombs. It imparts a salty, umami flavor in the breading mix.
EGGS:
- The eggs help the breading attach to the cheese cubes by sticking everything together. They also give the coating a little more richness.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder adds a warm and flavorful flavor to the coating. It evenly distributes flavor without overpowering the cheese.
HERB MIXTURE:
- This herb mixture adds depth and aroma to these cheese bombs. It enhances both the garlic powder and the cheese. Add some chili flakes to add the spicy content to them.
SALT:
- Salt brings out the natural flavors of the cheese and herbs. Since Parmesan is already salty, a small amount goes a long way.
BLACK PEPPER:
- Pepper balances the cheese’s creaminess with a slight spiciness. Freshly cracked pepper provides the greatest flavor.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil spray helps the bombs brown evenly and without unnecessary grease.
