Cheese Puff Crackers - 0.1 carb/cracker

This is the simplest, easiest recipe you will ever make. I was reading this Low Carb Cracker recipe. It is so simple, you just take a cheese slice, cut it up into small pieces and microwave!

This would be a great idea when you get the munchies - you get 16 chips out of just one slice of cheese! Even if you ate all 16 crackers in one sitting, that is still just a 2g carbs snack!

I make a batch of these each morning, (if I am out of crackers) and eat a few of them with my salad, with soup or when I need a quick snack.

Serves: 1
Prep Time: 1 minute
Net Carbs - 0.1 carbs /per cracker
Potential Allergens: dairy
Free of Wheat, Gluten, Soy, Eggs, Sugar, Nuts, Meat, no added salt.

Preparation:
I cut one mozzarella cheese slice in half, in half again, in half again - until I had 16 small pieces.

Then I placed the cheese pieces in a circle on parchment paper (do not use wax paper, it will melt to the cheese). Do not put one piece in the middle because it will cook faster than the rest, and burn.

Cook in the microwave for 45 seconds. The pieces will puff up and brown slightly.

Take out and let cool.

Peel off paper (paper can be reused) and store the cheese crackers in a container.

You could also add any seasoning you liked. In one experiment, I sprinkled some garlic salt on a slice of cheese, then cut it up. Delicious!
