These ARE yummy!
Ingredients
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese slices
- garlic salt, any seasoning or a dab of hot sauce (optional)
The cheese slices we used were 1/4″ thick, if you’re slicing your own cheese it might be hard to get it exactly that thickness. The large sandwich-sized slices also work great in this recipe, we’ve also made keto crackers by cutting up the large squares by trimming them into 9 small squares per slice.
Using sharp cheddar cheese is what gives that strong Cheez-its taste with this easy keto cheese crackers recipe. You can use any of your favorite cheese slices, medium cheddar, Havarti, Monterey Jack, Colby, etc. Any type of cheese that you would commonly eat as a slice will work for the recipe.
That being said, it’s “possible” some types of cheese could also cook faster than the sharp cheddar snack slices we bought? We’ve only tried this recipe with sharp cheddar cheese and a Colby-Jack blend (which cooked faster than the cheddar). Again, just keep an eye on the cheese a few minutes before you think it’ll be done so they aren’t cooking too fast or burning.
How to Make Cheese Crackers
Turn the oven to 350 F to preheat and make sure the oven rack is in the center position.
Put a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent the cheese from sticking.
Lay the cheese slice squares onto the parchment paper, making sure to spread them out to try and prevent them from melting into each other. We ended up putting 24 cheese slices on our baking pan.
Bake the cheese crackers for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
The crackers will harden as they cool.
