Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the texture is smooth and everything is evenly distributed. - Shape into Balls
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, each about 1 inch in size. - Roll in Almond Flour (Optional)
For an added layer of texture and easier handling, roll each ball in almond flour. This step is optional but adds a nice touch. - Chill to Set
Place the cheese balls on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This allows them to firm up and hold their shape. - Ready to Serve
Serve the mini cheese balls cold. They make a perfect keto-friendly appetizer or savory snack.
