I only count 1 tsp. of olive oil in the macros because that's all I found was absorbed. This came out to be 562 Calories, 47.64g Fats, 1.47g Net Carbs, and 29.55g Protein.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces queso blanco
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ounces olives
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Chop cheese into cubes and place in the freezer. Heat oil in a skillet until hot over medium-high heat.
- Add cheese cubes and brown as much as possible on all sides.
- Bring the cheese together and press down with a spatula. Cook cheese on each side, flipping half of the cheese into itself and flipping the cheese as you see fit.
- Continue cooking the cheese, flipping and folding the cheese into itself, building layers of crisped cheese one after the other.
- Using a knife or another spatula, form a block with the cheese you have and seal off each side.
- Remove from pan, let cool slightly, and cut into small cubes. Serve!
