FAQs
1. Can I use other types of cheese?
Yes, you can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or provolone.
2. Can I make these bites ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and form the bites, then refrigerate them before baking. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve.
3. What if I don’t have almond flour?
If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour, but keep in mind that coconut flour is more absorbent, so you’ll need less of it (about 1/3 of the amount).
