What it is
A popular Brazilian bar snack, typically deep-fried. This keto version uses a low-carb coating (e.g., almond flour, crushed pork rinds, or a blend) instead of traditional wheat breadcrumbs, maintaining the crispy exterior and gooey melted provolone interior. Often served with lime wedges.
Key ingredients
Provolone cheese (thick slices), almond flour or crushed pork rinds (for breading), egg, seasonings (salt, pepper, oregano), high-heat cooking oil (e.g., lard, coconut oil, or blend) for frying.
How to make it keto
