Ingredients: 

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese*
1/4 tsp almond flour or meal
seasonings or herbs as desired (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, toss together the ingredients until well blended.
• Place even sized piles of mixture (size depends on how big you want the crackers) two or more inches apart on the baking sheet, flattening each pile slightly.
• Put in preheated oven for 4 to 6 minutes or until melted and starting to get golden brown.
• Remove and let cool undisturbed to keep their shape. (If you want to turn them into little bowls, you can place them, while still warm, over an inverted muffin tin or cups.)
• When cooled completely, these crackers can be used to serve dips, spreads, or as a cheesy cracker snack.

* Note: Any hard cheese will work, like Romano or Asagio. You can even use softer cheeses, like cheddar, but the result will be softer as well. Almond flour or meal helps the cheese smooth out while baking, but you can actually make these with just the cheese.
