Ingredients
For Keto Cheesy Focaccia

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
Add eggs to the melted cheese mixture and stir quickly to combine. Mix in almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 4: Shape the Focaccia
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Press it evenly with oiled hands or a spatula to form a flat, focaccia-style layer.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Brush the top lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and rosemary evenly over the surface.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the top is golden, bubbly, and slightly crispy around the edges.
Step 7: Cool & Slice
Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the bread set and improves texture.
Pro Tips & Variations
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an Italian twist
