Cheesy Star Crackers

By Clean Plate

These cheesy star crackers are a lovely addition to your healthy Christmas spread.  They look great, taste yummy and are super easy to prepare.  Here we have paired them with some red, white and green vege skewers, but they could just as easily be served with a dip like our guacamole!

Cheesy Star Crackers
Serves 10

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups grated vegetables (we used a mixture of carrot and kumara)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup of Edam cheese, grated
1 1/2 cups of flour (we used a mixture of wholemeal and high grade), plus more for rolling

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Grate the vegetables on the thin side of the grater, place them in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with water and microwave for 3 mins. Allow to cool slightly and strain the water out. Squeeze the grated vege mixture to remove as much moisture as possible.
3. Mix grated vege with the cheese and eggs.
4. Slowly mix in the flour. If your mixture is sticky, add more flour as needed, until reaching a good consistency for rolling. 
5. Flour your surface and the rolling pin and roll out quite thin (about 3-4 mm thick).  Cut out the stars and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
6. Bake for about 10 mins or until crackers are golden and crisp.
