how to make Irresistibly Easy Keto Garlic Flatbread

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Directions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt 2 cups of shredded low moisture mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Stir well to combine.
2. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of almond flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the melted cheese. Stir until a sticky dough forms and all ingredients are nicely blended.
3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing it to firm up for easier handling and better texture.
4. Once chilled, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and flatten between two sheets of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6. Place the flattened dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
7. While the flatbreads are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
8. Remove flatbreads from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan and a dash of fresh parsley.
9. Return the flatbreads to the oven for an additional minute for the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
