I've seen all kinds of grain free recipes out there where you make pizza crust out of cauliflower or just about anything else from any combination of coconut, coconut flour and coconut oil. Besides being allergic to coconut (sad face) I don't have the time or effort to steam, purée and shape cauliflower into various foods. So tonight we wanted burgers. It's been a while since we've had them and we didn't want to use lettuce as a bun, it just seems un-American. So what's a tired, American girl to do? We thought about using portobello mushrooms but our "buns" would cost $4.00 each! That didn't seem reasonable. What goes well with burgers? My first thought was bacon shaped into a round and baked. Then I thought what about those yummy cheese crackers? They are just baked cheese, super quick and easy. So Cheese Burger Sliders it is!
Lunch: Sprouted Corn Tortillas with Melted Habanero Cheese and O Brother that's Hot Sauce
Snacks: Blue Diamond Asiago Cheese Nut Thins
Fuji Apple
Dinner: Burgers with Crispy Cheese "Buns" and Alexia Roasted Garlic an Cracked Black Pepper Potato Puffs
To make the Cheese Cracker Buns
Makes 10 Crackers or 5 "Buns"
4 oz Cheese (we used cheddar)
Preheat oven to 350. On 2 SILPAT or Parchment line baking sheets divide cheese into 5 equal piles on each sheet.
Make sure you leave room for them to spread. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and lay on paper towel to soak up extra grease.
Layer cheese with lettuce, onion, sauce, meat and cheese. Or you can eat these as croutons with salad or just as is!
