This totally flourless keto cheesy bread is great by itself, served alongside soup, dipped in your favorite marinara, or even as the base for an open-faced sandwich. It refrigerates well, too, and can be warmed up very quickly in a toaster oven.
Today’s recipe is by Sarah Smith of Nourished and Nurtured from her new cookbook Nourished Cooking. I made this cheesy bread today and it was simply divine. Of course, I love all things cheese so I’m hardly impartial, but I have a feeling you’ll love it too. This is a handy, healthful snack to keep around for a quick bite, so I’ll probably be revisiting this recipe quite often!
If your family loves cheesy bread as much as we do, you are going to love this flourless cheesy bread recipe.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses in this recipe. We typically use cheddar and Parmesan, but it is also great with a combination of white cheddar, green chile cheddar, and low-moisture mozzarella.

Keto/Low-Carb Flourless Cheesy Bread Recipe
This keto cheesy bread is great by itself, served alongside soup, dipped in your favorite marinara, or even as the base for an open-faced sandwich. It refrigerates well, too, and can be warmed up very quickly in a toaster oven.
- 1 egg (preferably from pastured hens)
- 1/2 cup packed grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup packed shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tb plain whole milk yogurt
- 1/4 cup arrowroot*
- pinch cayenne pepper
- pinch fine ground celtic sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until well-combined. [Elizabeth: I used my standing mixer for this recipe, but a hand mixer would definitely work just as well.]
- Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or an Exopat. Use a silicone spatula to spread the mixture out as thin as you can make it without seeing any holes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes. The edges should be very browned, and the top should be nicely browned. [Elizabeth: mine took a few minutes longer–I don’t think I spread it quite thin enough!]
- Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Then use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the bread into wedges or pieces.
- Serve! Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container. To reheat, just place the slices in a toaster oven set at 200-250 degrees for a few minutes.
NOTE: Arrowroot is not GAPS-legal. See reader comment below for a GAPS-legal substitution.
