Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese or Mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    In a microwave-safe bowl, add the Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan cheese and greek yogurt. Microwave for about 25 seconds or until the cheese is slightly melted but not bubbly. Add two room-temperature eggs and stir until well combined.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt and mix until combined. Pour in the cheese mixture. Stir with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should lightly stick to your fingers but not be wet. Add more almond flour if needed.
  • Pour a small amount of oil in your hands and roll about 3 tablespoons of dough into a ball. Then, roll the breadstick dough into a long breadstick, about 5-6 inches long. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
    Lightly beat one egg yolk and brush it over the top of each breadstick for a golden finish.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter using a pastry brush for an extra-rich flavor. Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving.

Notes

​Use room-temperature eggs: Cold eggs can cause the melted cheese mixture to firm up too quickly. If needed, place the eggs in warm tap water for 5 minutes before using.
Do not overheat the cheese: When microwaving the cheese and yogurt, stop as soon as the cheese softens. If it bubbles or separates, the dough will be harder to mix smoothly.
Watch the dough texture: The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle with oiled hands. If it feels wet, add almond flour one tablespoon at a time until it holds its shape.
Keep the breadsticks evenly sized: Shaping them close to the same length and thickness helps them bake evenly and prevents dry ends.
Brush with butter right away: Brushing the breadsticks as soon as they come out of the oven helps the butter soak in and keeps them soft.
