Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…› teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning if using. Mix thoroughly using a whisk or hand mixer until the batter is completely smooth and well combined.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the smooth batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer approximately ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the noodles: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is set and the edges turn slightly golden, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and slice: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the baked sheet into thin, noodle-like strips.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly sauces such as Alfredo, pesto, or browned butter combined with fresh herbs for a flavorful low-carb meal.
Notes
- These noodles are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave to avoid drying them out.
- Using a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper can make removing the noodles easier.
