Ingredients
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the crackers.
- Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, egg yolk, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure crispy crackers.
- Cut and Shape: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares roughly 1-inch in size. Use a fork or skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square to help even baking.
- Bake: Transfer the parchment paper with cut dough onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool Completely: Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool fully on the baking sheet; cooling helps them crisp up further for the perfect texture.
Notes
- For flavor variations, substitute cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
- Air Fryer option: Cook at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes for faster results.
- Store crackers in an airtight container for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
