I was craving a cracker, and my theory on low carb high fat living is ... if you want something bad enough, find a way to make it low carb. So, here is my project for a crispy cracker to use with some ham salad I'm making tomorrow.

The finished product. Crispy low carb crackers. |
 |
Place dough between two layers of parchment to flatten out. |
First, gather up your ingredients and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix 1 cup blanched almond flower with 2 cups of shredded cheese of choice. I used sharp cheddar and 2 oz. of cream cheese. Put in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir it all together and let it sit. Then, add one beaten egg and seasonings of choice (once it's cooled a little to prevent the egg from cooking). I used Badia Complete, Rosemary, Garlic and Sea Salt blend and a little Himalayan pink salt. Mix it into a ball and place between two pieces of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
I also mixed in a seed trilogy mix with chia, hemp and flax, along with about a quarter cup of roasted sunflower seeds and a touch of Bob's Red Mill hulled hemp hearts.
Place the dough between two layers of parchment and spread thin using your hands or a rolling pin. Cut into squares using a pizza cutter or knife. I baked at 450 for about 6 minutes on one side, then used the parchment to help flip it over and baked another 6 minutes on the other side. Crispy and flavorful, perfect for dipping with low carb ham salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, you name it. Or, just a good snack by themselves.
I missed crackers

:) Now I don't have to. This recipe made about 10 servings of 10 small crackers. So good! Only about 3 net carbs per 10 crackers.

Just after baking. I had to taste test that bottom left corner. |
