🧄🧀 Carnivore Garlic Cheese Bread

Low-carb • Grain-free • High-protein • Keto & Carnivore-friendly

This “bread” skips flour entirely and uses cheese and eggs to create a chewy, golden base that’s perfect for garlic butter and extra melted cheese on top.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8 slices)

For the Bread Base

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella (low-moisture, part-skim works best)

• 2 oz cream cheese

• 1 large egg

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ tsp baking powder (optional, for slight lift)

Garlic Butter Topping

• 3 tbsp butter, melted

• 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder for strict carnivore)

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

• Pinch of salt

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Make the Dough

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.

2. Microwave 45–60 seconds until melted. Stir until smooth.

3. Add egg, Parmesan, and baking powder.

4. Mix quickly until a sticky dough forms.

💡 If dough gets stiff, microwave 10 more seconds to soften.

3️⃣ Shape & Pre-Bake

1. Place dough onto parchment.

2. Press into a rectangle about ½-inch thick.

3. Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

4️⃣ Add Garlic Topping

2. Brush over baked crust.

3. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

5️⃣ Final Bake

Return to oven for 5–8 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes for extra browning.

6️⃣ Rest & Slice

Let cool 5 minutes (important for firm texture).
Slice into 8 breadsticks or squares.

❓ Q & A

Q1: Is this zero carb?

Not zero, but very low carb. Most carbs come from dairy (about 1–2g per slice).

Q2: Can I make it strict carnivore?

Yes — omit garlic if desired and use only cheese, egg, butter, and salt.

Q3: Why is my dough too sticky?

Cheese likely needs a little more melting. Microwave briefly and mix again.

Q4: Can I make this without microwave?

Yes. Melt cheeses gently in a saucepan over low heat.

Q5: How do I store leftovers?

Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.

Q6: Can I freeze it?

Yes. Freeze slices individually and reheat straight from frozen.

Q7: Can I add meat?

Absolutely! Add crumbled bacon or shredded chicken on top before final bake.
