There's something truly comforting about the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through the house. But if you're like me, trying to keep things low-carb can make traditional bread a no-go. That's why I love this low carb herb & cheese bread recipe. It's perfect for those days when you want to indulge without the carb overload. Plus, it's super easy to whip up, even on a busy weeknight. This bread is inspired by my love for savory flavors and the need for a quick, satisfying side that doesn't derail my health goals.

This herb & cheese bread pairs wonderfully with a hearty soup or a fresh salad. I love serving it alongside a bowl of creamy tomato soup or a crisp Caesar salad. It's also great as a side for grilled chicken or fish. If you're hosting a dinner party, slice it up and serve it with a charcuterie board for a delightful appetizer.

Servings: 8

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup almond milk

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian herbs.

Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, making sure they're evenly distributed.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter and almond milk, mixing until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme. You can also switch up the cheese—try mozzarella or gouda for a change. If you're feeling adventurous, toss in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an extra burst of flavor. And if you're dairy-free, substitute the cheese with nutritional yeast and use a plant-based butter.
