Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried chives)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg (optional, for added richness)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, cream cheese, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the egg for extra richness. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into squares or your desired shape.
- Bake the Crackers: Transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Once cooled, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Keto Cheese and Chive Crackers on their own or with your favorite low-carb dip!
Tips:
- Storage: Store leftover crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, or swap the cheddar for a different cheese variety like gouda or mozzarella for varied flavors.
