Keto Cheese Puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make low-carb snack that brings the crispy, cheesy goodness of traditional cheese puffs into the world of keto. With their crunchy texture and rich flavor, they are perfect for satisfying savory cravings without straying from a low-carb diet.

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.
