Sure, here’s a recipe for cheesy keto garlic bread that you can enjoy while following a ketogenic diet:
Ingredients:
For the bread:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Pinch of salt
For the garlic butter topping:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the almond flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Gradually add the melted cheese mixture to the dough, kneading with your hands until everything is well combined and you have a smooth dough.
- Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rectangular or oval shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
- While the bread is baking, prepare the garlic butter topping. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and brush the garlic butter mixture over the top.
- Turn on the broiler and place the bread back in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheesy keto garlic bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
