Ingredients

For the Flatbreads

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Optional Add-Ins

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Melt the Cheeses

• Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Heat for 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway through.
• Continue stirring until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

• Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
• Add the eggs, garlic powder, and salt.
• Mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms.

Step 4: Shape the Flatbreads

• Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions.
• Place each portion onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Flatten into thin circles about 5–6 inches wide using the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake for 12–15 minutes until the flatbreads are lightly golden around the edges.
• For a deeper golden color, bake an additional 2–3 minutes.

Step 6: Cool Slightly

• Remove from the oven.
• Let the flatbreads rest for 5 minutes.
• They will become more flexible as they cool.

Step 7: Serve

• Serve warm as wraps, sandwich substitutes, pizza bases, or alongside your favorite meal.

Tips & Notes

• Use freshly shredded mozzarella for the best texture.
• Don’t overbake or the flatbreads may become crispy instead of flexible.
• Add herbs or spices to customize the flavor.
• These flatbreads can be reheated in a skillet for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
• Store parchment paper between flatbreads to prevent sticking.
