Keto Sour Cream & Chive Crackers

There are so many Keto friendly dips out there, but WHAT do you dip in them? Regular crackers and chips are super high in carb. There are a couple options you can find online, but the ones I’ve had so far are NOT very good. So I decided to make my own.

The ones I made for myself I used sour cream and chive, but my husband doesn’t like chives/onions, so I made plain sour cream crackers for him. The plain sour cream ones are perfect to use to dip!

This cracker dough is pretty similar to fat head dough (which is super versatile and a staple of every Keto dieter!).

Here’s your ingredient list and recommended items for this recipe:

PRINTABLE RECIPE

Sour Cream & Chive Keto Crackers

Prep Time: 40 min (including refrigeration time)
Cook Time: 15 min
Servings: 12
Net carbs per serving: 2

1 3/4 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tbsp sour cream
1 egg
1/4 c almond flour
1/4 c coconut flour
2 tbsp chives
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/8 tsp salt

Start by putting the cheese in a microwave safe bowl and heating for 30 second at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds until cheese is melted. Add in sour cream and stir until well mixed. Once mixed, add in remaining ingredients. Stir or use your hands until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer until chilled. This step is very important or the crackers will not roll out/cut easily!!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Once your dough has chilled, take a chunk of it (I did 1/4 at a time and left the rest in the fridge so it doesn’t soften) and roll it between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll to about 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Use your mini cookie/cheese cutters or a knife and cut out small crackers. Place the silicone mat on the cookie sheet and then place the crackers on the mat. You can put these pretty close together, they do not puff out/spread much at all. You can brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt if desired. I did not do this part and they came out great!

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until browned. Remove and cool. Store in airtight container. You may have to adjust your cooking times depending on your oven. Play around with what works best for you, some ovens run hot. You want these to dry out and cook. If you cook too high, you’ll end up with it dark around the edges and soft in the middle.

Keto Cheez-its

These cheez-its are so simple you can’t really call it a ‘recipe’. It’s cheese. And seasonings. That’s it. And did I mention SO tasty and carb free? It’s a perfect Keto friendly, inexpensive snack. You can make as little or as many as you’d like.

Start by getting your favorite sliced cheese. I used sharp cheddar, but I’ve also used regular cheddar, provolone, pepperjack, etc. Preheat your oven to 300 before you start cutting your cheese so it’s ready to go when your cheese squares are ready.

I highly recommend using Silicone Baking Mats  on your cookie sheet. Much more cost effective than parchment paper. Line your cookie sheets with the mat or parchment paper.

Cookie sheets ready

Cut your cheese into 9 squares. Put on cookie sheet, about an inch or so apart. If you put them too close, they melt together.
Cheese cut

Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. My favorites are garlic powder or taco seasoning. Bake for approx 10 minutes (keep an eye on them or they’ll get dark – the darker they get, the crunchier they will be!). I liked mine crunchier so I baked mine about 4 minutes longer than my husbands. Can you tell whose are whose??

Cheese done

I removed them from the silicone mat and put on paper towels to drain off the excess grease. Once cool, store in an air tight container. Don’t expect them to last too long though, they are addictive! (Especially the crunchy ones!)
