Keto Herb and Garlic Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 2 Tbsp Sour Cream
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
- 1 Tbsp Italian Herb mix
- 2 Tsp Garlic Powder (divided)
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tsp Salt (divided)
Directions
- Pre Heat oven to 400 F. Melt the shredded mozzarella in a frying pan over medium heat. (This step can also be done in a microwave) Remove from the heat, then add the sour cream. Stir until well combined. Using a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, egg and italian herb mix, 1 tsp garlic powder, to the cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, then place in the fridge for 10- 15 minutes.
- In a frying pan over med heat, melt the butter. Mince, then add the garlic clove, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 a Tsp of salt. Let simmer for 5 minutes. (I removed most of the minced garlic at this point and saved it for the herb and garlic spread.)
- Between 2 pieces of parchment paper, roll the dough very thin using a rolling pin. Remove the top piece of parchment paper.
- Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out shapes. Place the shapes onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the melted garlic butter, then sprinkle with the remaining salt. Then use a toothpick to poke some holes in the crackers. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes, flipping the crackers half way. Make sure to watch them closely. (Place any dough scraps back in the fridge for another 10 – 15 minutes before rolling out again.)
Recipe Notes:
- Make Sure to Use Parchment Paper NOT Wax Paper.
- Getting them as thin as you can and cooking them for a minute or 2 longer, will help to get them crispier.
- Make sure there’s a little space between the crackers while baking helps to get them crispier too.
- How long you microwave the cheese for, depends on how powerful you microwave is. My rule of thumb is to melt cheese in increments of 30 seconds and stir. I did 2, 30 seconds and an extra 15.
- Keeping the dough cold and rolling it out quickly, before it heats up to much will help keep get it extra thin.
- To make your own Italian Herb Mix, use 1 Tsp Basil, 1 Tsp Parsley, 1 Tsp Oregano.
- Use the remaining minced garlic from the garlic butter to make a delicious herb and garlic cream cheese spread. Use 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 1 Tbsp Italian Herb mix 1 Tsp garlic powder and the leftover garlic from the butter mixture.
- I rolled half of the dough at a time, which made it easier to get it thinner.
