Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until they are completely melted and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and olive oil until well combined.
5. Pour the wet egg mixture into the dry flour mixture and stir until you have a dough-like consistency.
6. Now, add the melted cheese mixture to the dough and mix until everything is fully combined and forms a smooth, uniform dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut.
8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly, and slightly flatten the tops.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.
10. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. The cheese bread is best when served warm.
