Ingredients
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor)
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat for best results)
-
4 large eggs, divided
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
Optional Add-Ins:
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning for savory flair
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for extra richness
-
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (about 6×3 inches) with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or oil.
-
Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted and smooth.
-
Mix the Dough: To the melted cheese, add the Greek yogurt and 3 of the eggs. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. Sprinkle the baking powder (and optional seasonings) over the dough and mix until well combined.
-
Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and press it down evenly with a spatula or your hands to form a smooth surface.
-
Add the Egg Wash: Beat the remaining egg and brush it lightly over the top of the dough. This will give the bread a golden, shiny crust after baking.
-
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and Serve: Slice the bread into thin pieces and enjoy as-is or toasted with your favorite toppings like butter, avocado, or cream cheese.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme.
-
This bread works well as a substitute for traditional bread in keto sandwiches or as a side for soups and salads.
-
The bread is best enjoyed within 3–4 days, or you can store it in the fridge for longer shelf life.
