Cheesy Bread Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• Garlic powder, to taste
• Italian seasoning, to taste
• Non-stick spray or cooking spray (for the baking sheet)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. This ensures the cheesy bread bakes evenly and lifts easily off the sheet.
2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1 cup of grated Parmesan, and 1 large egg. Mix thoroughly until the cheese and egg form a uniform, sticky mixture. This will act as the base for your cheesy bread.
3. Season: Sprinkle in garlic powder and Italian seasoning to taste. Gently fold the spices into the cheese mixture, ensuring every bite has flavor.
4. Shape on Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart if making individual bites. For a single crust, you can spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer to form a flatbread shape.
5. Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for 1 minute at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cheesy bread to cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or base for a quick pizza crust. Enjoy immediately while the cheese is melted and crispy on the edges.
