Ingredients
  

  • 2 TBS MCT oil
  • 2 TBS organic butter
  • 4 oz Cheese curds frozen
  • 2 oz Bacon or Prosciutto very thinly sliced
  • Optional: chopped herbs

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil and butter in a sauté pan to medium-high heat.
  • Cut the prosciutto in ½. Wrap the pieces of bacon or prosciutto around each cheese curd, being careful to completely cover all the cheese. Secure bacon with a toothpick. If you use prosciutto it is “sticky” enough that you should not have to secure with a toothpick. If desired, roll in chopped herbs for a crispy herb crust. TIP: You can freeze until ready to fry.
  • Place each frozen wrapped cheese curd into the hot oil, turning frequently, until the outsides become slightly crisp and the cheese becomes gooey. This will only take a few minutes.
  • Remove to a platter, cool slightly, and enjoy with BBQ mustard or keto ketchup!
