Irresistible Cheesy Garlic Flatbread
Warm, melty garlic bread flavors meet low-carb magic—welcome to my kitchen staple. After playing around a bunch, I finally pulled off that cheesy, garlicky bite without loading up on carbs. Now, this is my trusty sidekick for everything—dips, salads, you name it.
Why You'll Love This
This flatbread is always on repeat at my house, and here's the reason: once it starts baking, the smell draws everyone in. It wipes out those bread cravings, but keeps the carbs low. Plus, I use it as a side, or even toss on some toppings for a quick low-carb pizza night.
What You’ll Need
You probably already have everything you’ll need for this. Grab 2 ounces of cream cheese, a couple of eggs, about 2 cups of mozzarella (shredded), 2 garlic cloves, a cup of almond flour, a bit of olive oil and butter, 1/4 cup parmesan, a spoonful of baking powder, and don’t forget a dash of salt to tie it all together.
How I Throw It Together
Get your oven warming up to 350°F so it's ready. First, microwave the cream cheese and mozzarella until they're gooey. While that's going, grab a bowl and mix up the eggs, baking powder, almond flour, parmesan, and salt. Fold the gooey cheese mix into the dry stuff. Let the dough chill in your fridge a few hours. Ready to bake? Break into 8 dough balls, squash each one out between parchment. Into the oven they go for 15 minutes or so. Sizzle up garlic in butter and oil, brush over the hot breads, then hit 'em with a sprinkle of extra parmesan.

Fun Ways to Eat
I love munching these with salads or dunking them in soup. Feeling creative? Turn them into DIY mini pizzas, or use to scoop dips like guacamole, hummus, or any cheesy spread you want.
Handy Make-Ahead Notes
Want to save time? Wrap your dough real tight, toss in a freezer bag, and it's good for a whole month. Got leftovers? Stash the baked flatbreads in the fridge, and crisp them back up in your toaster or oven when hunger hits.
Lazy Day Pro Moves
This isn’t normal fluffy bread, so don’t expect it to rise—the cheese plus almond flour take care of texture. Skip the yeast! When I’m in a rush, I turn these into speedy pizzas and dinner’s sorted in no time.
Why These Always Work
This combo—bubbly cheese, golden butter, and garlicky flavor—nails all those comfort food cravings, but keeps my carbs in check. Whenever I want something cozy without blowing my eating plan, these are what I'm making.

Smarter Snacking
Switching to almond flour totally changed things for me. Fewer carbs but more of those good-for-you vibes like vitamin E and magnesium. It's awesome for heart health, so I feel better serving these for the crew.
Lazy Pizza Night
My bunch loves when I do mini pizza flatbreads. Mozzarella, some pepperoni, and fresh basil go right on top. Broil for a couple of minutes and dinner blows takeout out of the water.
Party Snack Crowd-Pleaser
I always bring these to get-togethers. I chop 'em into little pieces, serve with garlic butter or a spinach artichoke dip, and nobody can stop munching—keto or not!
Mix Up Your Meals
These are my go-to move to make any meal better. With grilled chicken, roasted veggies, or just by themselves, all that cheesy, garlicky awesomeness pulls everything together.
