1 Egg White

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Prepare both cheese and egg whites. 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.
Whisk your egg whites into a stiff peak. 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.
Add your whisk egg whites into the shredded cheese, and using a fork, start gently folding them into the cheese. Make sure all of the egg whites are thoroughly combined with shredded cheese.
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. Keep in mind that the size will double while air frying. The length of the frying also depends on the size of your cheese puffs.
Gently place each one of the cheese puffs into your air fryer. Make sure you leave the space in between as they increase in size. You can also gently spray them with an oil of your choice.
Air fry your cheese puffs following up the instructions of your particular air fryer. I have used our Tefal Actifry, where the best cheese puffs I got were on number two for 15 minutes.
Once your puffed cheese is ready, gently remove them from your air fryer and place it on a plate for serving.

Notes

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.
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.
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.
