Quinoa Salt-and-Pepper Crackers with Almond Cheese

  1. To make the crackers, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly dust your work surface and a baking sheet with quinoa flour.
  2. Combine all the cracker ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix thoroughly on low speed.
  3. Remove the dough and roll it out on your floured work surface, turning the dough and sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  4. When the dough is about 1/8 inch thick, cut it into shapes using a cookie cutter or the top of a juice glass.
  5. You could instead cut the dough into squares or rectangles using a knife, pizza wheel, or fluted dough wheel.
  6. With a spatula, transfer the crackers to the baking sheet, prick each with a fork, and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
  7. (Alternatively, you could make one large cracker by pressing the dough into a 12-inch tart pan, pricking all over with a fork, and sprinkling with additional salt and pepper.)
  8. Bake for 20 minutes.
  9. If making one cracker, score it into wedges right when it comes out of the oven.
  10. Let the crackers cool for 1 hour before storing on a covered plate or in a cookie tin.
  11. To make the cheese, combine all the ingredients except for the pepper in a food processor.
  12. Process until the cheese has attained a smooth, creamy texture.
  13. Season to taste with the pepper and additional salt.
  14. Place the cheese into a mold or bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  15. Turn cheese out onto a serving plate and garnish with fresh thyme.
  16. (Alternatively, you can form the cheese into individual balls and place one on each quinoa cracker wedge, garnished with fresh thyme.)
