Calories 349kcal
Ingredients
- 120 g almond flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 50 g Gruyere cheese grated
- 140 g Cheddar cheese grated
- 55 g full-fat cream cheese (soft cheese)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan oven). This is 240°C for conventional ovens (or 475°F / gas mark 9).
- Cut three sheets of baking parchment paper the same size as your largest baking tray.
- Combine the almond flour, dried thyme and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate microwave-friendly bowl, add the Gruyere, Cheddar and cream cheese.
- Place the bowl of cheese in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Add the almond flour mix to the melted cheese and mix well to combine. Leave to stand for a minute or two to cool down slightly
- Add the egg to this melted cheese mixture and mix well to combine. This step can also be done in a mini food processor. (I advise you chill your dough in the fridge for 20 minutes if you have the time, as it makes it so much easier to work with.)
- Tip the mixture out between two of your sheets of baking parchment paper.
- Use a rolling pin to roll as thin as possible.
- Place onto the tray and then remove and discard the top layer of parchment. Use a pizza cutter to roll along the dough, making small triangles.
- Place the tray into the oven for 6-7 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven.
- Here is the tricky part: Place your third sheet of parchment on top of the partially baked nachos and very gently – using a large egg-lifter or an extra pair of hands - flip the entire thing so that you can bake both sides.
- Peel off (what is now the top layer) of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter again to make the slices more evident.
- Place back into the oven for another 6-7 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool completely before easily breaking up into the little nacho triangles.
- Delicious if you serve the keto nachos with Fats of Life Guacamole! (The macros are calculated without any dip and are calculated at an estimate of approximately 45g / 1.6oz (or about 12 nachos) per serving. Bearing in mind you may lose some due to the edges burning, you could yield 5 snack servings / 5 people with this batch.)
