Keto Cheese Crackers With Basil Pesto Veggies

 

Ingredients 

For the cheese crackers:

60 g gouda or parmesan cheese

A pinch of oregano

A pinch of chilli flakes

 

For the stuffing:

50 g paneer and mixed veggies (broccoli, spinach, sun-dried bell peppers, etc)

 

For the basil walnut pesto sauce:

20 g fresh basil

3 cloves garlic

10 ml olive oil

5 g walnuts

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Method

1. To prepare the cheese crackers, heat a non-stick pan and place two heaps of cheese on it, allowing them to melt. As the cheese melts, sprinkle it with oregano and chilli flakes. Once melted and slightly crispy, carefully mould each cheese cracker into a cup shape to hold the stuffing.
2. Saute the paneer and mixed veggies, and set aside.
3. To prepare the basil walnut pesto sauce, pulse the fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, walnuts, salt, and pepper slowly together in a mixer. Pulsing  slowly maintains the pesto’s flavour without turning it bitter.
4. Fill the cheese cracker cups with a mixture of sautéed mixed veggies and paneer, then drizzle with the basil walnut pesto sauce.
