Low Carb Cheese "Crackers"

I found this recipe on the Low Carb Friends Message Board on Netrition.com. I believe the recipe is from a poster named LindaSue. Most low carbers are always looking for something that tastes like bread or crackers as we miss some of those foods while eating on this plan. Anyhow, LindaSue found a genius way to make cheese into crackers to which I eat with either tunafish salad or chicken salad. Remember- don't make more than 2 oz worth as you're not supposed to have more than 4 oz of cheese a day or it could stall your weight loss! These are VERY addicting- my husband didn't know they were just made of cheese and wanted more of them and he's not on a low carb diet!

These crackers are also great on Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure Diet as they have no sugar or carbs in them! Anyhow, here is the recipe for low carb crackers:

Low Carb "Crackers:

2 pieces of American Cheese, quartered

Quarter the American Cheese slices so that you get 8 pieces total. On a microwave safe plate, place on a silicon baking sheet or parchment paper (DO NOT USE WAX PAPER!. Place the cheese slices on the baking sheet or parchment paper keeping the slices spread out a little. Microwave on regular power for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Let cool for about 30 seconds, then flip over the cheese slices and cook for another 30 seconds. Let cool for about five minutes. Enjoy with chicken salad, ham salad, egg salad, or just alone. You can use other cheese as well- just separate into small mounds on the silicon baking sheet or parchment paper. Follow the same directions as above. Makes 8 crackers.
