Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals until fully melted, stirring until smooth.

3. Add the eggs, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

4. Spread the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown around the edges.

6. Meanwhile, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl.

7. Brush the garlic butter over the hot bread and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.

8. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

9. Slice into breadsticks or squares and serve warm.

Notes

Freshly shredded mozzarella melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.

Mix the dough while the cheese is still warm for the best consistency.

For extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle additional mozzarella on top before the final bake.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore a crispy texture.
