INGREDIENTS:

• Half tsp. garlic powder
• One tbsp. melted butter
• Half a teaspoon of Italian seasoning
• One big egg
• Half cup shredded cheddar cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella cheese makes the flexible, dough-like base of the toast, which melts easily. It keeps the inside soft and chewy while adding structure. The mild flavor balances the sharp cheddar topping.

CREAM CHEESE:

• Cream cheese helps hold the dough together by adding richness and moisture. It keeps the bread moist rather than dry and adds a creamy smoothness.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• The recipe is low in carbohydrates since we use almond flour in place of ordinary flour. It helps to provide the light, nutty flavor. Use a fine form of this flour so it gets mixed evenly.

BAKING POWDER:

• Baking powder aids in the dough’s small rise when baking. It keeps the toast from becoming overly heavy and gives it a slight lift. For optimal results, make sure it’s fresh.

EGGS:

• The egg provides structure to the toast and binds the components together. It adds protein and helps the bread maintain its structure. To achieve a uniform texture, beat lightly before combining.

MELTED BUTTER:

• Toast gains flavor and richness from the addition of melted butter. It keeps the inside moist and helps the edges crisp up. Brushing it on prior to baking helps to achieve a golden finish.

GARLIC POWDER:

• The savory flavor that garlic powder brings enhances the cheese. It adds the distinctive aroma of garlic bread without dominating the food. We change the quantity to suit your preferences.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

• With oregano, basil, and thyme, Italian spice creates a well-balanced herbal taste. It gives the toast a rich, aromatic flavor that is reminiscent of traditional Italian bread. The dough incorporates the dried herbs perfectly.

MOZZARELLA:

• The mild mozzarella gains sharpness from the melting cheddar cheese. It covers each piece with a brownish golden crust. For the finest flavor and melt, shred it right away.
