Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, almond flour, dried thyme, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Crack the large egg into the mixture and mix until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, carefully cut the rolled dough into small rectangular or square cracker shapes, about 2 inches in size.
- Gently transfer the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each cracker to allow for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, carefully separate the crackers and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Cheese Choices: While cheddar and mozzarella are fantastic options, don't hesitate to experiment with other cheeses like gouda or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist.
- Rolling Technique: To achieve even thickness, roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to cut your crackers into uniform shapes.
- Crispier Crackers: For extra crunch, bake the crackers a minute or two longer, but keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
- Flavor Boost: Feel free to add additional spices such as paprika, onion powder, or even a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick!
- Storage: To maintain their crispness, store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. If they start to soften, a quick 5-minute bake in the oven can restore their crunch.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these crackers with your favorite dips, spreads, or cheeses for an impressive appetizer platter that will wow your guests!
