Ingredients
- Full-fat cream cheese, cold
- Eggs, beaten
- Crushed zero-carb coating (e.g., pork rinds or similar)
Instructions
- Slice the cold cream cheese into 6 to 8 pieces and gently roll into balls. Keep chilled.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Place crushed coating in a separate bowl.
- Dip each cream cheese ball into the egg wash, then roll and press into the coating until fully covered.
- Place the coated balls in an air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t touching.
- Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 8–10 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Let cool slightly before serving hot or chilled.
Notes
- Add dried herbs or spices to the coating for flavor variety.
- Tuck in a bit of aged cheese for a surprise center.
- Add lemon zest to the cream cheese for brightness.
- Use salt-free spice blends in the coating for extra depth.
- Reheat in air fryer or oven; avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
