Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Low-Moisture, Part-Skim Shredded Mozzarella (170g)
- 2 oz Cream Cheese (full-fat), cut into small cubes (56g)
- ¾ cup Super-fine Almond Flour (85g)
- ½ tsp Xanthan Gum (2.5g)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (4g)
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted (56g)
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, finely minced (about 1 Tbsp)
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley (2g)
- ¼ tsp Salt (1.5g)
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (25g)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until the mixture is fully melted and easily combined into a smooth mass.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, xanthan gum, and baking powder.
- Add the dry mixture and the beaten egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix vigorously with a spatula until a cohesive dough ball forms. If the dough is too sticky, allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Place the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll or press it out evenly into a rectangle, approximately ¼-inch thick (about 8x12 inches).
- Peel off the top sheet of parchment. Place the dough (still on the bottom parchment) in the freezer for 5–7 minutes until slightly firmed up.
- Remove the dough and use a pizza cutter to slice the rectangle into 10–12 breadstick shapes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt to create the garlic topping.
- Brush the garlic butter generously over the surface of the breadsticks. Sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling nicely.
- Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before serving warm.
