Description
These crackers are so tasty that it’s really hard to believe that they are wheat-free. Carb and non-carb eaters will love this tasty canapé.
Ingredients
Crackers
½ C (125 ml/65 g) almond flour
¼ C (60 ml/32 g) coconut flour
¼ C (60 ml/35 g) sesame seeds
½ tsp (2.5 ml) fine salt
1 tsp (5 ml) garlic, crushed
2 tsp (10 ml) fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1½ Tbsp (22.5 ml) olive oil
1 large egg
⅓ C (80 ml/35 g) Gruyère cheese, grated
Caramelised Onions
1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
1 (180 g) large onion, thinly sliced
To Assemble
200 g goat’s cheese (logs)
Handful of micro leaves
Instructions
Crackers
Pre heat the oven to 160 °C.
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend for a few seconds until the mixture forms a dough.
Roll the dough out between two sheets of baking paper to a thickness of roughly 0.5 cm. Remove the top piece of baking paper and use a cutter (6 cm diameter) to cut out 15 rounds. Lift the rounds onto the prepared baking tray and place in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Allow the crackers to cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray before placing onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Caramelised Onions
Place the oil and the chopped onion in a heavy-based frying pan over low heat. Stir regularly and allow to cook for 30 minutes until golden and tender.
To Assemble
Slice the goat’s cheese logs into rounds. Place a round onto each cracker, add some of the caramelised onion and garnish with the micro leaves.
Notes
The Gruyère cheese can be replaced with mature cheddar or Parmesan for alternative flavours. Chopped rosemary or origanum will also work instead of thyme.
