Keto Garlic Bread

Ingredients:

For the Bread:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Garlic Topping:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3-4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, heating it in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until it’s smooth and fully melted. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted mozzarella to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Beat the eggs and stir them into the mixture until a dough forms.
3. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a rectangle or oval about 1/2 inch thick using your hands or a spatula.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
5. While the bread is baking, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper (if using) in a small bowl.
6. Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top.
7. For extra crispy garlic bread, switch the oven to broil and place the bread under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic butter is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Let the garlic bread cool slightly before slicing it into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Garlic Bread as a side dish with your favorite low-carb meals or as a tasty snack!
