Ingredients

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups almond flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or Italian seasoning for extra flavor

Instructions

Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make Dough:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave 45–60 seconds until softened. Stir in almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic, and eggs to form a soft dough.
Shape Breadsticks:
Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into breadstick shapes with a knife or pizza cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Garnish & Serve:
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley and optional Parmesan. Serve warm with marinara sauce or keto dips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.

Tips for Perfect Keto Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

Thin rolling: Roll dough thinly for breadsticks that crisp on the outside and stay soft inside.
Cheese: Mozzarella provides stretch, while cream cheese keeps breadsticks soft.
Garlic flavor: Fresh minced garlic gives the best aroma; garlic powder works in a pinch.
Serving suggestion: Heat briefly in oven or microwave to refresh soft texture before serving.

Variations

Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough.
Herby: Mix in Italian seasoning, oregano, or rosemary.
Cheese lover: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Parmesan on top before baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a side with keto pizza or soup.
Pair with low-carb dips like marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.
Great as a party appetizer or snack.
