INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:

COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour aids in moisture absorption and we have to use coconut flour sparingly since it makes the thing crumbly and dry.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder adds a fluffy, light feel to the crackers and we always have to use the fresh powder for the best results.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder I added to this sandwich as it provides a delicate savory flavor and we can adjust the quantity as we like.
SALT:
- We have to use fine sea salt to ensure uniform dispersion to improve the flavor.
NUTRITIONAL YEAST:
- We can use the nutritional yeast in the mixture as it gives food a cheesy, umami taste.
CHILLED UNSALTED BUTTER:
- We have to use the chilled unsalted butter to keep the crackers fluffy.
EGG WHITES:
- Egg white provides crispness in baking and binds the dough.
CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use soft cream cheese for easy mixing and it provides a soft, tangy foundation for the filling.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese gives the filling a rich, sharp flavor.
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
- Optional bacon or chives is added to make the sandwich filling tasty and it also provides the texture.
