How to cook it

Cooking cue

Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F, line a cookie sheet with parchment, and combine the melted butter with crushed garlic, then set aside.
  2. 2. Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for 1 minute, stir, microwave for 30 seconds, stir again, then microwave for 30 more seconds until uniformly melted and smooth.
  3. 3. Mix the egg and dry ingredients (coconut flour, almond flour, flaxseed, and baking powder) into the melted cheese, then knead by hand on wax paper or process with a dough blade until fully incorporated.
  4. 4. Press the dough into a large rectangle on parchment (wet hands help), cut into 8 long strips, then cut each strip into 3 smaller strips to create 24 total strips.
  5. 5. Braid sets of 3 strips together, tucking the ends under, and arrange 8 braided breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, then brush with half the garlic butter and sprinkle with sea salt.
  6. Cook eggs just until set so they stay tender instead of rubbery.
  7. 6. Bake for 15 minutes, brush with the remaining garlic butter, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown, then serve warm.
