πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan (for topping)
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Optional: fresh rosemary or flaky salt for garnish

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Instructions

  1. Melt cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and combined (about 1–1.5 minutes total).
  2. Make dough: Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms. You may need to knead it a bit with your hands or a spatula.
  3. Flatten in pan: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Press the dough evenly into the pan (about 1/2 inch thick). Use your fingers to create dimples like traditional focaccia.
  4. Top and cook: Brush the top with a little olive oil, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan, and add rosemary or flaky salt if desired.
  5. Cover and cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low-medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until the bottom is golden and the top is set and cheesy.
  6. Serve warm: Slice and serve fresh from the pan!
