Keto Sour Cream and Chive Crackers Recipe

Introduction

These Keto Sour Cream and Chive Crackers are a delicious, low-carb snack perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings. Made with simple ingredients and bursting with fresh chive flavor, they’re ideal for dipping or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in a frying pan over medium heat or in the microwave. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, egg, and chopped chives to the cheese mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
2. Step 2: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out very thin using a rolling pin. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper.
3. Step 3: Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
4. Step 4: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Return any dough scraps to the fridge for another 10 to 15 minutes before rolling out again. Note: Always use parchment paper, not wax paper.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the dough for an extra flavor boost.
• Use fresh herbs like dill or parsley instead of chives for a different herbal note.
• Make sure to roll the dough very thin for the crispiest crackers.
• If the dough gets too sticky, chill it a bit longer before rolling.

Storage

Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them crisp. If they soften, reheat briefly in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crunch.

FAQs

Can I use other cheeses instead of mozzarella?

Mozzarella works best for melting and binding, but you can try a mild cheese like Monterey Jack. Hard cheeses like Parmesan won’t melt the same way and may alter the texture.

Is it necessary to chill the dough?

Yes, chilling firms up the dough, making it easier to roll out thin without sticking and helps the crackers hold their shape during baking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Cheese Mixture

• 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• 1/8 tsp salt

For Topping

• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• Additional salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat and Melt Cheese: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the cheese in the microwave. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the sour cream until well combined to create a creamy cheese mixture.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, egg, and chopped chives to the warm cheese mixture. Stir and mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms.
3. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes. This step firms up the dough, making it easier to roll out.
4. Roll Out Dough: Place the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out very thinly using a rolling pin. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper carefully after rolling.
5. Cut and Prepare Crackers: Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the rolled dough into desired shapes. Arrange the shapes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of the crackers with the melted butter and sprinkle lightly with salt for extra flavor.
6. Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Keep a close watch on them to prevent burning as they can cook quickly. If you have dough scraps leftover, refrigerate them for another 10 to 15 minutes before rolling out again and repeating the cutting process.
7. Note on Parchment Paper: Ensure you use parchment paper for lining and rolling, NOT wax paper to avoid sticking issues and ensure even baking.

Notes

• Use parchment paper instead of wax paper for rolling and baking to prevent sticking.
• Keep an eye on the crackers while baking as they can brown quickly.
• Leftover dough scraps should be chilled before re-rolling to maintain texture.
• For a variation in flavor, you can experiment with herbs like rosemary or thyme instead of chives.
