Primal Cheese Curds
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons lard or duck fat, melted
- 4 ounces Cheese curds frozen
- 2 oz Bacon or Prosciutto very thinly sliced
- Fresh herbs chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil and butter in a sauté pan to medium-high heat.
- Cut the bacon or prosciutto in half. 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!
