low carb flourless style skillet bread

That looks delicious 😍—but just a heads-up: this isn’t truly “zero carbs.” Anything bread-like (even without traditional flour) usually still contains some carbs. Still, here’s a low-carb, flourless-style skillet bread inspired by your image—soft, cheesy, and super satisfying!


🫓 Introduction

This quick skillet bread is soft on the inside, lightly crispy outside, and packed with herby flavor. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a lower-carb alternative to traditional bread—ready in minutes and made with simple ingredients.


🛒 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 egg

Optional Flavor Boost:

  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

🍳 Instructions

1. Melt the Cheese

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella + cream cheese (about 1 minute)
  • Stir until smooth and stretchy

2. Mix the Dough

  • Add the egg and mix quickly
  • Stir in herbs and seasoning

3. Shape

  • Divide into small balls
  • Flatten into mini round breads

4. Cook

  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat

🔥 Methods & Tips

  • Keep heat medium-low so they cook through without burning
  • Use parchment if dough feels sticky
