Step 1
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and set aside. Combine the parmesan cheese and almond flour on a wide plate, and set this aside as well.

Step 3
Use your hands to form 8 croquetas. You want each croqueta to be packed densely and about 2 ½ inches long.
Step 4
*Please use 1 ½ cups of grapeseed oil for this recipe. Heat the oil in a medium sized skillet to a high heat. When the oil is ready, dip each croqueta in the egg and then in the almond flour mixture. Place the croquetas in the hot oil and cook them for about 60-90 seconds per side or until golden brown.
