Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Microwave the cheeses together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until they are completely melted and blended. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total. The mixture will be hot and gooey.
- Mix in the Egg and Seasonings:
- Once the cheese mixture is melted and smooth, let it cool for a minute so that it’s not too hot to handle.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon garlic powder to the cheese mixture. If you’re using oregano, add 1 teaspoon dried oregano here. Stir until everything is well combined. The egg helps bind the cheese mixture together and gives it a bread-like texture.
- Shape the Dough:
- Transfer the cheese dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or your hands (coated with a bit of oil or water to prevent sticking) to spread the dough out evenly into a rectangle or desired shape, about ½ inch thick. Smooth the surface as much as possible.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- If you like, you can add turkey pepperoni slices on top of the dough. Arrange them evenly over the surface of the dough, pressing them lightly into the cheese.
- Bake the Breadsticks:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. The exact time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it towards the end.
- Cool and Cut:
- Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will make them easier to cut and handle. Once slightly cooled, cut into sticks or squares using a pizza cutter or knife.
- Serve:
- Enjoy these cheesy breadsticks warm on their own, or with a low-carb marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping!
These breadsticks are a great low-carb snack or side dish. Feel free to adjust the seasonings and toppings based on your taste preferences. Enjoy your keto cheesy breadsticks!
