Equipment

Ingredients

▢ 40 g red Leicester cheese or other cheese of your choice
▢ 1 egg white - approx 37g
▢ ⅛ tsp xanthan gum (U.S. option HERE)
▢ ⅛ tsp fine himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
▢ 1 tsp (3.5g) ultra fine almond flour (U.S. option HERE)
▢ 1 tsp lupin flour (U.S. option HERE) (world-wide supply HERE - use discount code QUEENKETO5 at checkout)
▢ ⅛ tsp paprika

Instructions

freeze cheese for 1 hour, then grate it finely.
mix dry ingredients together, then add grated cheese and combine.
whip egg white to stiff peaks ( I use a stick blender/whisk) and incorporate dry ingredients.
pre-heat oven to 150°C static.
transfer to a piping bag with 10mm round nozzle (U.S. option HERE) and pipe 24-26 tubes (2.5cm long).
bake 30 minutes, turn off heat, remove from oven and let cool (15-20 minutes should do it).
finally, proceed with the second bake at 100°C fan for 30 minutes, then turn oven off, open the door and leave inside until cooled.

Notes

You want static heat for the first bake to ensure your cheese puffs cook through. Using the fan setting for the second bake will enhance the drying process.

With double baking, the cheese puffs will remain crisp for days, when stored in a sealed container. Should they soften due to humidity levels being high, simply pop them in the oven or under the grill for a couple fo minutes and they'll be crispy again.

The only way to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients is with Metric Kitchen Scales. U.S. alternative HERE.
