Parmesan Cheese Crackers with Goat Cheese & Pomegranate (FM)

Recipes | January 16, 2017

ParmesanCheeseCrackerswithGoatCheeseAndPomegranate

*using a cookie cutter 1 1/2 inch in diameter yields about 57 crackers 

Ingredients for the crackers:
2 cups almond flour
3 tbsp nutritional yeast seasoning
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large eggs
fine sea salt for the tops

Optional Seasoning:
1 tbsp dry oregano
1 tbsp dry rosemary

Topping:
3/4 cup + 2tbsp (7 oz)  creamy, soft goat cheese
2 1/2 tbsp organic honey
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees
  2. Combine all the dry ingredients for the crackers including the dry seasoning in a large bowl. Mix until there are no lumps.
  3. In a small bowl mix the eggs with olive until smooth and then add it to the bowl with mixed dry ingredients.
  4. Stir with a rubber spatula until you form a sticky dough. Transfer the dough onto a lightly greased (you can use olive oil or butter) parchment paper or any smooth surface such as bamboo cutting board.
  5. Working in batches, roll out the dough until it’s about 1/8 of an inch thin and then use a circle cookie cutter  (1 1/2 inch in diameter) to cut out even size pieces. Place those pieces onto a parchment paper lined large baking sheet. Work with the dough until you use it all and the tray is completely full. Then sprinkle some extra fine sea salt over the tops.
  6. Place the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top and dry on the inside. Let it cool down for 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish the crackers with the topping – mix the cream goat cheese with the honey until well combined and then spoon small amounts evenly on top of the crackers. Top with small amount of pomegranate seeds.

      I blend it, then pass through a cloth to get the juice out, mix with honey or agave syrup.

    Good recipe but I want to tell you that there is a typo on step four. I think autocorrect put in payment paper and the right word is parchment paper

    I made the crackers last night, they were tasty (very addicting), and super easy to make. Will make this again for sure. Thanks!

    I just made these, sans pomegranate and they’re great. I made them as my Friday night treat meal. But I have no idea what a portion size would be to keep it a free meal. So I had five. What fit in the palm of my hand.
    I think I’ll freeze the rest for next weekend.
