Crispy Cheddar Keto Crackers
I was asked the other day what I eat on a daily basis since I don’t eat carbs. My answer was “Meat, veggies, and cheese. Lots and lots of cheese.” 🙂 Cheese has long been a favorite food of mine ever since I can remember and the fact it’s a staple in many keto friendly foods is just plain awesome!
While I would be content to just eat cheese plain, making keto friendly cheesy snacks is another tasty way for me to eat my favorite food.
A few weeks ago I decided to tackle making a cheddar keto cracker, and was absolutely tickled with the result! They were cheesy, crunchy, easy to make, and oh so delicious!
Ingredient List
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Tablespoons Butter
1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
1/2 Baking Powder
1 Large Egg White
Himalayan Pink Salt (For Sprinkling)
How to Make Crispy Cheddar Keto Crackers
Making these crackers is a super simple process if you follow just a few simple tips.
Working with cheese can be challenging as it tends to be sticky, and loses its pliability once it begins to cool or if it’s overcooked.
These crackers are made from a fathead head dough, which basically means a dough made of melted cheese combined with a fat. These doughs are super easy to make but they do require immediate attention. If making this make sure you don’t have anything else going on that will interrupt you once you have your cheese and fat melted.
Begin by putting your fat ( in this case that’s the butter) and your cheddar cheese into a microwave safe bowl. Begin by microwaving your cheese for thirty seconds, then stir it. Continue melting your cheese and butter in thirty second increments, stirring after each one until the cheese and butter have melted completely and you have a nice smooth mixture.
Now add your coconut flour, baking powder, and egg white to the mixture. Stir with a spatula, kneading the dough until you have a nice evenly mixed dough.
Put the dough on a piece of parchment paper approximately the size of your baking sheet, and put another piece of the same size on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thinly as possible, no more than 1/8 inch thick. Once you have your dough rolled out pull the top layer of parchment paper off the dough, and place the other layer with the dough on a large baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter, or sharp knife score the dough into one and a half inch squares.
Place the crackers in a preheated 350° Fahrenheit oven and bake for fifteen minutes to twenty minutes, until the crackers have begun to turn golden brown and the edges have begun to crisp.
(If the edges have begun to crisp, but the middle has not, cut or break off the edges and stick the pan back in the oven for another few minutes until all of your crackers have baked till crispy.)
Let the crackers cool, then finish cutting them in squares using a pizza cutter. Sprinkle some Himalayan pink salt on top and enjoy fresh, or you can store them in an airtight container for that crazy workweek coming up!
