Ingredients List

For the Bread:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

For the Garlic Butter Spread:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dried oregano (if using). Mix well until a dough forms.

Step 2: Shape and Bake the Bread

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the sheet and shape it into a rectangular or oval shape, depending on your preference. Use your hands or a spatula to spread the dough evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and firm to the touch.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter

While the bread is baking, prepare the garlic butter spread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Add the Garlic Butter

Once the bread is out of the oven, immediately spread the garlic butter over the hot bread. Allow it to melt into the warm bread for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Slice the cheesy garlic bread into portions and serve while warm. Enjoy this guilt-free version of garlic bread with your favorite meal or as a delicious snack.
