4. Step-by-Step Instructions
For Cheese Shell Roll-Ups:
- Cook the filling: Sauté peppers and onions over medium-high heat, then add ground beef until browned. Stir in cream cheese (if using) and Worcestershire sauce until well combined and creamy.
- Create cheese discs: Spread shredded cheese into circles on parchment. Bake until lacy and golden, then let cool slightly until pliable.
- Assemble rolls: Spoon filling onto each cheese disc, then carefully roll into tight wraps. Let them firm up before serving Stylish Cravings.
For Pork Rind Crust Rolls:
- Prepare breading stations: Coconut flour → egg wash → crushed pork rind + Parmesan coating.
- Roll roast beef slices around filling, then bread through stations.
- Fry lightly in coconut or avocado oil, flipping for even cooking. Let cool briefly before serving KetoConnect.
5. Pro Tips & Kitchen Hacks
- Dry meat slices thoroughly before breading for better coating adhesion.
- Use freshly shredded cheese, as pre-shredded often contains anti-clumping agents that prevent proper melting.
- Seal the ends first when frying to prevent filling from spilling out.
- Prep filling ahead and refrigerate to speed up roll assembly when you’re ready Dr. Davinah’s Eats+12Facebook+12Facebook+12Stylish Cravings+1KetoConnect+1.
