Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Calibrate the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, then lightly coating with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and one whole egg until a cohesive mixture forms.
- Enhance the cheese mixture by incorporating garlic powder and Italian seasoning, stirring until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula or clean hands to spread it into a uniformly thin layer, ensuring consistent thickness across the surface.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for the edges to turn a light golden brown and the center to set.
- Activate the broiler function and place the partially baked cheese crust back into the oven for approximately 1 minute, carefully monitoring to achieve a rich golden color and slightly bubbling surface.
- Carefully remove the baked cheese crust from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes, which helps the crust stabilize and become easier to handle.
- Slice the cooled crust into desired portions, serving as a low-carbohydrate bread alternative or as a crispy pizza base.
Notes
- Quickly mix cheese and egg thoroughly to prevent lumpy texture.
- Work on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy removal and minimal cleanup.
- Spread dough thinly and evenly to ensure crispy, consistent browning.
- Watch carefully during broiling to prevent burning, as it takes just seconds to go from golden to burnt.
- Cool bread slightly before slicing to help it set and maintain structural integrity.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
