Low Carb Cordon Bleu Meatballs

Low Carb Cordon Bleu Meatballs are air fried for just 12 minutes and then served with a creamy Dijon mustard sauce. Such an easy low carb meal or appetizer.

The meatballs are delicious mixture of ground chicken, finely diced ham, onion, garlic, and swiss cheese. All of the components of Chicken Cordon Bleu in a meatball package. So good!

I LOVE making meatballs in the air fryer. They cook up so fast and all the grease that comes out of them drains away. Plus they get super crispy and flavorful on the outside, but stay moist on the inside.

These meatballs are a great part of a low carb diet and are gluten-free and keto-friendly. If you want to make Low Carb Cordon Bleu Meatballs a full meal, serve with a green salad or zucchini noodles.

These meatballs are already flavorful on their own, but add a creamy mustard sauce and they are divine!

Tips for Making Low Carb Cordon Bleu Meatballs:

• Be sure to finely dice your ham so that the meatballs will hold together.
• Freshly shredded cheese always tastes better than preshredded.
• If you like dill pickles, try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped dill pickle to the sauce for extra flavor.
• Air Fryer cooking times can vary quite a bit so use the cooking time as an estimate.
