Grain-free cheese "crackers"


I got the recipe from here. For the past month I have been living off of packaged crackers, and I just couldn't take it anymore. So I decided anything that calls itself a cracker and is grain-free is well worth a shot. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

½ cup sifted coconut flour
½ cup almond flour
2 eggs
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Method

Blend together almond flour, eggs, butter, salt and cheese. Add coconut flour and kneed the dough in your hands for 2 to 3 minutes. Form dough into 1 inch balls, place on an un greased cookie sheet and flatten to a diameter of about 2 to 2½ inches. Bake at 205 Degree C (400F) for 15 minutes. These crackers taste best straight from oven and slightly crisp. Leftover crackers can be reheated at 205 Degree C (400F) for about 4 minutes. Makes about 16 crackers.

Results? First off, it made quite a bit more than 16 crackers, and if I would've made them any bigger, they definitely wouldn't have been crackers. Second, they really mean it when they say they're better hot. Once they reach room temperature, they're quite dry-tasting. Definitely more bread-like than cracker, but especially if you cover the top with butter and salt fresh out of the oven, it does help the craving and give you something to snack on. Not sure if I'll make them again, but I can promise none will go to waste.
