Plus, the high-fat content from the cheese keeps the carb count down and helps you stay in ketosis. Its a win-win!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crutial, trust me.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, shredded cheese, and any optional seasonings (like garlic powder or dried herbs). If using a food processor, pulse these ingredients together until finely ground. I did this on my kitchen counter the other day and it worked out great.
- Add the egg and water to the mixture. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should come together easily; if it seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty!
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out as thinly as possible. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness. You've got this.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into small squares or your desired cracker shapes. You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes!
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. If some crackers break during transfer, just piece them back together on the sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. My first batch was slightly overcooked so I learned it the hard way.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the parchment paper. They will crisp up further as they cool. Patience is key here!
- Once cooled, carefully break the crackers apart along the cut lines. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper.
- Ensure the dough is rolled out very thin for the best crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
