Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses are melted and can be combined smoothly. Stir well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with the eggs.
Stir until a dough forms; you may need to knead it a bit with your hands to ensure all ingredients are well-incorporated.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Press it evenly to fill the entire space of the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried rosemary.
Brush this mixture over the top of the focaccia dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the top.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low-carb cheese focaccia as a snack or side dish!
