Breading
I actually like this recipes for breading much better than the standard high-carb versions; this provides some great flavor you don't usually get. Perfect for Chicken Nuggets or Shrimp Fritters
Ingredients
This recipe is cheese-dominant. To make it less cheese oriented you can reduce the cheese and increase the pork rinds. The cheese contributes flavor, browning, and binding, while the pork rinds contribute crispness and structure.
- 1 cup shredded or ground sharp cheddar, colby jack, or monterey jack cheese (be careful not to blend it into paste if doing it yourself)
- 1/3 cup finely ground pork rinds
- Mayonnaise (preferred) or beaten eggs.
Method
- Combine the cheese and pork rinds.
- Dip the item in mayonnaise or eggs and shake off excess.
- Fry per the recipe.
Experiment
Remove moisture
- Roast broccoli until fully cooked.
Breading
- Mix shredded cheddar and a little mayo.
- Microwave just enough to soften, not fully melt.
- Stir in pork rind powder.
- Mold around broccoli.
- Refrigerate 15 minutes.
Finish
- Air fry.
