How good are the crispy cheese bits on the outside of your grilled cheese sandwich? Well you might not be eating grilled cheese sandwiches much anymore but you can still get that crispy cheese enjoyment with these cheese crackers.
There are many ways to make cheese crackers, but this is the method we prefer. I like knowing there is half a slice of cheese in each cracker for tracking purposes and that I can get a more consistent result.

Steps
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cut cheese slices in quarters, so you end up with 4 small squares from each slice
- Line baking tray with baking paper
- Place 2 of the small cheese squares on top of each other per cracker on the tray. Space them out on the tray as they will spread
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crackers are bubbling all over and no longer translucent looking in the centre. Try not to let them turn too orange as they can become bitter
- Remove from the tray and place on a cooling rack for them to cool down and crisp up
- Store in an airtight container

Serving Suggestions
As part of a cheese or grazing platter. We love to take a grazing platter with keto friendly food on it when invited to family get togethers or a BBQ with friends. Even non keto friends and family enjoy snacking on these cheese crackers.
In place of the corn chips in your Nachos. Nachos was one of our favourites before keto. We missed it alot. Erika decided to try making it with these cheese crackers and it worked out really well.
As a cracker with our Keto Ranch Dip or Guacamole. Dips and chips no longer need to be a thing of the past. These crackers make a perfect vessel for getting in these delicious dips.
On the side of your Chile Con Carne. Chile Con Carne is one of Dan’s favourite keto dishes and we love to serve it up with cheese crackers to add some crunch.

Make sure you use Baking Paper on your tray!
Last night I had my first attempt at making Cheese Crackers.
I did not have any Baking Paper on hand & decided to use a non stick tray which I sprayed.
Unfortunately they stuck to the tray like cement!!
This morning I scrapped the cheese crackers off the tray & now have fabulous Crumbs I can use as a Sprinkle on Vegies or whatever I choose.
I then started fresh with Baking Paper on my tray & the Cheese Crackers turned out beautifully!
I feel excited to share them.
Moral to the story – Use Baking Paper!!!
It’s definitely essential.
