FLAX SEED CRACKERS
I heard that if you mix flax seeds with an equal amount of water, soak them, and spread them thin, you'll get a tasty cracker. I heard right! These have a nutty, earthy flavor. They're light, but still sturdy enough for dips and spreads. Experiment with other seasonings if you like.

- Place butter into a mixing bowl; add Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix together with the back of a spatula until thoroughly combined.

Tips:
- Use a food processor: This is the easiest way to make the dough for these crackers. Be sure to pulse the ingredients until they are well combined, but do not overmix, or the crackers will be tough.
- Chill the dough: This will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the crackers: This will help to ensure that the crackers are evenly sized and have clean edges.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy texture and a delicious flavor.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
These cheesy flax crackers are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their cheesy flavor and crunchy texture, these crackers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
