One Ingredient Gouda Cheese Puffs are the easiest snack you’ll ever make. They perfect for low carb and keto friendly diets.
You read that right just ONE INGREDIENT in my One Ingredient Gouda Cheese Puffs recipe. You guessed it – Gouda cheese. That’s it! That’s all! Just one ingredient. Although there is just one ingredient, these puffy little cheese snacks take a little bit of pre-planning on your part because you have to start the recipe 24-48 hours before you plan to cook and eat them. But it’s REALLY EASY!
All you do is cut a block of cheese into small squares, place them on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet, cover them with a paper towel and let them sit for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 48 hours. Truthfully, I never wait more than 24 hours because I’m always too excited to cook them and eat them.
When you place them in the oven, gather your friends and family because they are going to want to watch the show. You won’t believe your eyes or your ears when these babies start to cook. The literally puff up and start popping like popcorn. It’s TRUE, they pop just like popcorn. It’s like magic! Well, it’s really more like science but I like to think they are magical (insert wink).

I was inspired to create this blog by my daughter during her Christmas visit. I have spent the last few years photographing my food creations and sharing recipes so she suggested I take the plunge into full-out blogging – so here I go! 
Oh wow, this sounds like a great snack! Thanks for the great recipe!
I hope you love it as much as we do.
When you “set them aside” for 24 hours, do you mean in the fridge, or at room temperature?
I mean on the kitchen counter – room temp and covered lightly with a paper towel. You won’t believe how delicious they are!
