gramsThese tasty appetizers are the wonderful marriage of mozzarella stick and my pizza chaffle batter. They are great as an appetizer or quick “on-the-go” snack. You will need a corn dog maker to make this recipe (see link below).
Ingredients
1 cup shredded mozzarella
2 TBS almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 TB tomato paste
2 large eggs
12 slices pepperoni, finely chopped
4 sticks mozzarella string cheese
Directions
- Add shredded mozzarella cheese, almond flour, baking powder and Italian seasoning to a food processor and process until it looks like bread crumbs (10-15 seconds).
- Add the tomato paste and eggs and process until thoroughly mixed (another 10-15 seconds).
- Add the chopped pepperoni to the food processor and pulse 5 or 6 times to mix them in.
- To make it easier to add the pizza batter to your corn dog maker, transfer your batter to a sandwich bag and cut off a corner (see video for the technique).
- Cut the mozzarella string cheese sticks down to 2/3rds size. This will leave you with 4 sticks, plus 4 “half sticks” — enough to fill all 6 corn dog slots.
- Using your sandwich bag of batter like a piping bag, fill each corn dog slot about 2/3rds of the way full, the place a mozzarella stick in each, pushing down slightly so that the batter comes up the edge of the cheese.
- Using your makeshift piping bag, apply remaining batter to the tops of the cheese sticks. Close the corn dog maker and cook for roughly 5 minutes or until you no longer see steam coming from the appliance.
- Remove pizza rolls to a cooling rack and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve plain or with marinara.
Made this recipe but didn’t have the corn dog appliance so used one that is two triangles (that I already had). I think it is meant for sandwiches. Anyway, it was kind of messy in there. I had to cook a lot longer than I thought but they are very tasty even without dipping marinara. So what did I do? I ordered the corn dog maker. Darn you Steve! Thanks for the great recipes.
I also have the little Dash pocket sandwich maker. I haven’t used it yet as I don’t want to dump too many appliances on my followers all at once. 🙂
I was so looking forward to these but after they cooked the cheese was missing in action. What happened to the cheese sticks? It was as if I hadn’t put any cheese in them at all. What could have gone wrong?
So you give a recipe 1 star and then you ask for help?
So delicious. Hade to buy the corn dog maker just to try all these recipes. Thanks for all these genius ideas. It has changed Keto for me.
Perfect go to when I’m craving pizza 🍕
Forgot o add that I freeze the mozzarella like Steve does in his other recipes.
These were a hit! Super easy to make. I did wish they were a bit crisper though. I wonder if adding evercrisp might help. Will give it a shot next time and let you know.
Got the corn dog maker for my birthday last week. Made these tonight. Was a hot mess with the cheese immediately oozing out – used a very creamy mozz I stead of the string cheese, was a fail on my part. Will try again with the string cheese and a bit chilled. Also substituted carbquik for the almond flour (added 1 Tbsp of heavy cream), and swapped 1/8 cup of shredded parmesan for equal part of mozz in crust. That part was great. Can’t wait to try out the other corn dog maker recipes – as soon as I get the silicone ice tube maker delivered from Amazon
