Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (small curd works best)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (fine, blanched almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  3. Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place a second sheet of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to roll the dough evenly between the sheets to about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness.
  5. Carefully peel off the top parchment sheet.
  6. Score the dough into roughly 1.5-inch (4 cm) squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife without separating the pieces.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are golden and the center feels firm.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and break the crackers apart along the score lines, spreading them out in a single layer.
  9. Return the crackers to the oven and bake another 5 to 10 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
  10. Cool the crackers completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
