- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

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.
