Ingredients (Makes 1 large quesadilla / flatbread — 4 slices)

  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture)
  • ⅓ cup (35g) shredded cheddar or parmesan

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix shredded mozzarella, cheddar/parmesan, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt until a thick dough forms.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread the mixture into a large thin circle (about 8–10 inches).

  4. Remove from pan. For extra cheesiness, sprinkle more cheese on top while hot and let it melt.
  5. Slice into triangles like a pizza/quesadilla. Pull apart to enjoy the cheese stretch!
