Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour (optional, for added crispiness)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or mixed dried herbs)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cheese mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, eggs, almond flour (if using), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the mixture:
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined baking tray. Use a spatula to flatten it into a thin, even layer.
- Bake the base:
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes or until the edges start turning golden brown.
- Slice into squares:
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the baked cheese mixture into bite-sized squares.
- Final bake:
- Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes to crisp up the edges.
- Serve:
- Let the bites cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor if desired.
