Low Carb Cheese Crackers Recipe Keto Friendly

BASIC KETO CHEESE CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Arrange Cheddar cheese in 24 small heaps on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing from baking sheets.

LOW CARB KETO CHEESE CRACKERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt the cheddar cheese in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove, until smooth and easy to stir. It will release some oil, which is okay, but try to stir it together as much as possible.
• Meanwhile, stir together the almond flour, sea salt, and nutritional yeast, if using. Stir in the egg, until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
• Add the melted cheddar to the bowl and use your hands to knead, squeezing between your fingers, until a uniform dough forms. It will feel oily - this is normal. (If you have issues getting it to incorporate, this is similar to making fathead dough - check my tips in my fathead pizza post or see the complete fathead dough guide in The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook.)
• Form a ball with the dough. If it's too sticky to work with, chill for about 15 minutes.
• Grease 2 pieces of parchment paper lightly and place the ball of dough between them. Roll to a very thin rectangle, about 1/16 (.2 cm) to 1/8 inch (.4 cm) thick. (It will tend to roll into an oval shape, so just rip off pieces of dough and re-attach to form a more rectangular shape.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the crackers into squares or rectangles and place onto the lined baking sheet. Prick with a fork or toothpick to prevent bubbling.
• Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden. If there is any oil on top of crackers after baking, pat with paper towels. Cool completely to crisp up.

2-INGREDIENT LOW CARB KETO CRACKERS RECIPE (ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the almond flour and sea salt in a large bowl. Add the egg and mix well, until a dough forms. (You can also mix in a food processor.)
• Place the dough between two large pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out to rectangle, about 1/16 (.2 cm) thick. (It will tend to roll into an oval shape, so just rip off pieces of dough and re-attach to form a more rectangular shape.)
• Cut the cracker dough into rectangles. Prick with a fork or toothpick if desired. Place on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until golden.

LOW CARB CHEESE CRACKERS RECIPE (KETO FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Mix all the cheeses (including the cream cheese) along with the almond flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook it for exactly one minute.
• Immediately stir the ingredients until the almond flour and cheeses have combined fully. You want the cheese to be partially melted (see photo)
• Allow this to cool for a few minutes because if you put the egg in these ingredients too soon it will cook the egg.
• Now add the egg, sea salt and seasoning of your choice. I decided to cut up some fresh rosemary I had on hand. You want to add about a teaspoon of your favorite seasoning unless it's a spicy mix. I would add only about a 1/2 teaspoon for spicy seasonings.
• Mix it together until all the ingredients is fully combined. If you cheese has gotten too hard or it's too hard to mix, you can microwave your cheese for another 20 seconds to get it soft again.
• Now you will place the ball of dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Then place another sheet of parchment paper of equal size on top of the ball of dough.
• You can use your hands or a rolling pin to spread the dough out into a thin layer. It spread so easily that I used my hands to have more control and keep the dough inside the square piece of parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper is the same size as your baking sheet.
• Next use a pizza cutter to cut the crackers into small squares as seen in the photos.
• Bake these crackers on each side at 450 degrees for about 5 or 6 minutes on each side. If the crackers are thin, you will cook them about 5 minutes on each side but if the dough is thick, it may take 7 to 9 minutes to get the crispy cracker texture you are looking for. When you keep the dough on the parchment paper it's really easy to flip it over while it's hot after cooking it on the first side. I ended up using the pizza cutter again to define the lines on the flip side too. Feel free to leave the crackers in there a bit longer (but watch them closely) if you love a very crispy texture.
• Allow the crackers to cool for about 5 minutes and they are ready to eat!

KETO CRACKERS (2 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a high speed blender or food processor, add your almond flour, shredded cheese, and salt, and blend well, until a dough remains. If the dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of water.
• Line a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat kitchen surface. Transfer the dough onto it and place another sheet of parchment paper on top. Press down on the dough, before rolling it out using a rolling pin, until around 1/4 inch in thickness. Using a pizza cutter, slice up squares to form crackers.
• Transfer the crackers onto the lined sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

KETO MINI RITZ CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat together the almond flour, butter, egg whites and xanthan gum until well combined.
• Place the dough into the freezer for 30 minutes to harden a bit. This will make it easier to handle and to cut out the cracker shapes.
• Roll the chilled dough out between two pieces of parchment paper until it is your desired thickness for your crackers. Be sure not to make the dough too thin, or it will be hard to transfer the cut out crackers to a baking sheet.
• Use a cookie cutter or other round object to cut out circles from the dough about the size of Ritz crackers.
• Transfer the crackers to a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Poke holes in the top of each cracker with the tines of a fork.
• Sprinkle salt to taste on the top of each cracker.
• Bake the crackers for 8-10 minutes until browned, crispy and cooked through.
• Combine all ingredients for the cheese filling in a bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals until fully melted. Blend well.
• Take the crackers out of the oven and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Take a pair of crackers and fill with the prepared cheese mixture.

EASY PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Place each tablespoon of cheese on parchment paper or silicone lined baking sheet about 1 to 2 inches apart.
• Bake about 3-5 minutes. Edges should be browned, but not burned.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool on rack. Store in airtight container.

KETO CRACKERS - 2 INGREDIENTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the almond flour, cheddar, parmesan, salt, and garlic powder (if using) , to a food processor and blend well, until it forms a dough. If the dough is too crumbly or isn't coming together, microwave the mixture for 20-30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt, then return it back to the blender and blend. The dough might stay a bit crumbly, but it must stick together if you pinch it with your fingers.
• Transfer the dough to a bowl, add your desired herb(s) if using, and knead well with a spatula or wooden spoon.
• Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, and fold it over the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into about ¼ inch thick.
• Cut the dough into even squares with a pizza cutter and then sprinkle with flakey salt on top.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature.

(40 SECOND!) ULTRA EASY KETO CRACKERS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small (microwave safe!) bowl until just melted, but not piping hot. Set aside to cool while you mix the flours.
• Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly. Pour in the butter and mix until evenly distributed (I just use my hands!). Add in your lightly whisked egg (1/2 egg is roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons or 25g) and continue to knead until it forms into a ball. Cover in cling film and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to solidify the butter.
• Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, sprinkle seasoning and lightly roll again to press it in. Trim to desired cracker size and separate gently. The dough is fragile, so I separate the pieces by running a knife underneath.
• For medium crackers, cook on high in the parchment paper for 20 seconds, open the microwave and cook for another 15-20 seconds. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool, but I suggest you do a trial with a couple to nail down your time!
• Note: cooking times can vary a lot depending on your cracker size and microwave, and I found they cook more evenly in batches of 4-6 (as opposed to the whole batch!) and in two bursts. My microwave is 1000 watts. Also be sure to cook your dough right away, as leaving it in the fridge overnight makes the almond flour harder to crisp up (as it has absorbed the liquid and essentially 'blanched').
• Note 2: these can be baked too! Just do 8-12 minutes in your oven at 350F/180C until lightly golden (will depend on size and thickness). And to make them extra crisp, feel free to do a double bake biscotti-style (i.e. let them cool, and bake them again for 5 minutes).
