Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth. You can also melt the cheese mixture in a saucepan over low heat if you prefer.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, Parmesan cheese, and optional dried oregano and parsley. Mix well.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the melted cheese mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. You should have a thick, dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to shape the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the Base: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s golden and firm to the touch.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the base is baking, melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the minced garlic.
- Add Garlic Butter: After baking the base, remove it from the oven. Brush the melted garlic butter evenly over the top of the bread.
- Bake Again: Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly crisped.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the garlic bread to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. This makes it easier to cut and helps the texture set.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy as a side with your favorite keto-friendly dishes!
Tips:
- Add Toppings: Feel free to add extra toppings like shredded cheese or fresh herbs before the final baking for extra flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for the best texture.
This Keto Garlic Bread is a great low-carb alternative to traditional garlic bread and pairs well with a variety of meals. Enjoy!
