π©βπ³ Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until fully melted and smooth (1.5-2 minutes total).
-
3
To the melted cheese, add almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and egg yolk. Mix thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a cohesive dough forms. It will be slightly sticky.
-
4
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly to about ΒΌ-inch thickness, forming a rectangle roughly 9x12 inches.
-
5
Transfer the parchment paper with the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into desired breadstick shapes (approx. 1-inch wide strips). Do not separate the strips yet.
-
6
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced fresh garlic, and dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the surface of the cut dough.
-
7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
-
8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese topping is lightly toasted. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
-
9
Remove from the oven, let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then break apart the breadsticks and serve warm.
π‘ Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer for best results. Serve with sugar-free marinara or ranch dip. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
