Cheese Seed Cracker
It might come as a surprise to you that even the healthiest among us do not always feel like snacking on fruit or vegetable sticks. It’s not always easy to rely on store-bought snacks and even if you can, sometimes you would prefer not to face the ‘silly season’. Try this easy, crunchy, and extremely tasty savoury snacks that can feed a crowd or just you. Accompany these crackers with a herb pesto, hummus, tzatziki or roasted cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Liviana® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ tsp sunflower seeds
- ½ tsp flaxseeds
- 1 tsp pumpkin seeds
- ½ tsp hemp seed hearts
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese squares (1 x 1 cm)
Method
- Pan fry the seeds over medium heat with the Liviana® Extra Virgin Olive Oil until toasted. Set aside.
- Place the mozzarella cheese squares 5 cm apart on a non-stick pan over medium heat. Do not move the cheese until it is completely melted and has formed a golden crust on the bottom.
- Sprinkle the seeds onto the melting cheese squares and then gently flip the cheese crackers. Leave to fry for 1 minute with the seed side down. Remove from the pan and let it cool down.
- Enjoy this amazing snack with some pesto, hummus, or tzatziki, and fresh slivers of cherry tomatoes and cucumber.
