Step 1

First Step: Prepare Ingredients

Step 2

Prepare both cheese and egg whites.

Step 3

It is best if you buy a hard cheese and shred the cheese yourself as a store-bought shredded cheese contains starches that are not suitable for our Keto lifestyle and the structure of the cheese puffs.

Step 4

Egg whites should be at room temperature to give you the best peak while whisking.

Step 5

Second Step: Whisk Egg White

Step 6

Whisk your egg whites into a stiff peak.

Step 7

You can skip this step and just add liquid egg whites into the shredded cheese, giving you more of the liquid texture inside the low-carb cheese puffs.

Step 8

We prefer whisking the egg whites beforehand.

Step 9

Third Step: Add and fold the egg white into the cheese

Step 10

Add your whisk egg whites into the shredded cheese, and using a fork, start gently folding them into the cheese.

Step 11

Make sure all of the egg whites are thoroughly combined with shredded cheese.

Step 12

Fourth Step: Shape

Step 13

Start shaping your cheese puffs. As you see, I have made more of a longer shape, but you can also shape them into balls in various sizes.

Step 14

Keep in mind that the size will double while air frying.

Step 15

The length of the frying also depends on the size of your cheese puffs.

Step 16

Fifth Step: Place into your Air Fryer

Step 17

Gently place each one of the cheese puffs into your air fryer.

Step 18

Make sure you leave the space in between as they increase in size.

Step 19

You can also gently spray them with an oil of your choice.

Step 20

Sixth Step: Air Fry

Step 21

Air fry your cheese puffs following up the instructions of your particular air fryer.

Step 22

I have used our Tefal Actifry, where the best cheese puffs I got were on number two for 15 minutes.

Step 23

Unfortunately, our Tefal Actifry does not show the temperature.

Step 24

Seventh Step: Serve

Step 25

Once your puffed cheese is ready, gently remove them from your air fryer and place it on a plate for serving.

Step 26

You can serve them immediately or keep them for later on.

Step 27

Tips and Tricks

Step 28

Egg Whites – depending on your taste, you can whisk your egg whites or use just a liquid form. Whisking your egg whites beforehand gives you more of a fluffy consistency inside.

Step 29

Shape – You can shape your cheese puffs however you like them. You can make them even much smaller if you wish. Please bear in mind that they do double in size while air frying.

Step 30

Air Fryer – Follow the instructions of your Air Fryer. Each air fryer is different, and the time and temperature might vary. I have used our Tefal Actifry, where 15 minutes on Number 2 worked the best.

Step 31

Once your puffed cheese is ready, gently remove them from your air fryer and place it on a plate for serving.

Step 32

You can serve them immediately or keep them for later on
