Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 ounces shredded cheese (Cheddar or Pepper Jack)
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (plus more for dusting)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes ((optional))
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)
  • Coarse salt for sprinkling

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 300ºF and line a work surface with a large silicone baking mat. Dust the mat lightly with almond flour.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the cheese on high in 30 second increments until well melted and can be stirred together to a smooth consistency.
  • Add the almond flour, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and the egg, and stir to combine. Work in well together with a rubber spatula, kneading the dough up against the sides of the bowl. If the dough is really sticky, work in another few tablespoons of almond flour.
  • Turn the dough out onto the prepared work surface and top with a piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll out as thinly as you can, no more than about 1/8 inches thick.
  • Cut the crackers into the desired shape and size using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife. For snack size crackers, make them about 1 inches across. To make little circles in the middle, take a straw and poke a hole in the center of each cracker. You can also simply take a fork and prick the crackers a few times.
  • Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the coarse salt, pressing lightly to adhere.
  • Transfer the silicone mat to a large baking sheet. Bake 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and the edges are beginning to crisp up, then turn off the oven and let the crackers remain inside until crisp. Keep a close eye on them!
