Soft, cheesy breadsticks with garlic butter, ready in 35 minutes. Perfect keto-friendly appetizer or side.
# What You Need:
→ Cheese Dough
01 - 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
02 - 2 oz cream cheese
03 - 1 cup almond flour
04 - 1 large egg
05 - ½ tsp baking powder
06 - ¼ tsp salt
→ Garlic Butter Topping
07 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
10 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.
03 - Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to incorporate.
04 - Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms. Use a spatula or your hands; the dough will be sticky.
05 - Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
06 - Transfer the dough with the bottom parchment to the prepared baking sheet.
07 - In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and parsley.
08 - Brush half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough surface.
09 - Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown.
10 - Remove from the oven, brush with remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Slice into 8 breadsticks and serve warm.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- You get that satisfying chewy breadstick texture without the carbs that usually come with it
- The garlic butter topping makes everything better and these reheat beautifully
02 -
- The cheese mixture needs to be very hot when you add the egg or it will not incorporate properly
- Let the dough cool slightly before rolling if it is too sticky to handle
03 -
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the breadsticks for clean even edges
- Let them cool for just 2 minutes before slicing so they hold their shape better
