Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Add the eggs to a large bowl and whisk until lightly beaten.
Add the cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, baking powder and black pepper. Mix well until everything comes together into one large ball of dough.

Let the cheese balls cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Nutrition is per cheese ball; the recipe makes 8. A snack serving of two cheese balls is about 2g net carbs.

For an air fryer, line the basket with perforated parchment and air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until golden.

For a carnivore-style version, swap the almond flour for the same amount of finely crushed pork rinds and leave out the baking powder and pepper (nutrition will differ).
