| Ingredient | Amount | Note |

| Cream cheese | 8 ounces | |
| Mozzarella cheese | 2 cups | grated (about 210 grams) |
| Large eggs | 3 | |

How to Make Nearly No Carb Keto Bread
Step 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grab a 12 x 17 jelly roll pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This keeps the bread from sticking.
Step 2 Toss cream cheese and mozzarella in a big microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for one minute. Stir well, then microwave another minute. The cheese should melt smooth.
Step 3 Add eggs, parmesan, pork rinds, and baking powder. Mix until everything blends together. (Hard-learned tip: Crush pork rinds fine for even texture.)
Step 4 Spread the dough on the lined pan. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden. Let it cool on a rack before slicing.
Step 5 Cut into 12 slices. Enjoy plain or as a sandwich base. *Fun fact*: This bread freezes well for later! What’s your go-to keto sandwich filling? Share below!

Storing and Reheating Your Keto Bread
