Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until the cheeses are completely melted and well combined.
- Once the cheese mixture is melted, let it cool for a minute. Then, add 1 large egg to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the melted cheese and egg mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour as needed.
- Once the dough is formed, sprinkle a clean surface with a bit of almond flour to prevent sticking. Transfer the dough onto the surface and knead it gently a few times until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long stick, about 6 inches in length, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the breadsticks for added flavor.
- Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Once baked, remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly snack or side dish. Enjoy your cheesy breadsticks!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and better dough consistency.
- Don't overmelt the cheese - stop microwaving as soon as it's just combined to prevent burning.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add almond flour gradually, one teaspoon at a time.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- For extra crispiness, let the breadsticks cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like red pepper flakes or dried herbs for unique flavor variations.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
