The Kitchen Table Bakers Gourmet Wafer Crisps
Gourmet Crisps For A Healthy Diet
CAPSULE REPORT: If you like cheese, you'll love discovering these tasty, low-calorie, low-carb crisps. They’re basically cheese, cheese, cheese, with a choice of regular parmesan plus a variety of different seasonings. Now instead of cheese and crackers, you have cheese in crackers.
Gourmet Wafer Crisps from The Kitchen Table Bakers are a fine contribution to snackdom, crackerdom and gourmet food accentdom. Delicate, lacy baked cheese thins, they are made in eight distinctive and tempting flavors: the original Aged Parmesan and Aged Parmesan mini crisps plus Everything, Flaxseed, Garlic, Italian Herb, Jalapeño, Rosemary and Sesame. A box of any one would impress, as these wafers have nay talents. Use them as:
Garlic Crisps. |
- A snacking cracker
- A crisp for dipping
- A garnish or crouton for soups and salads
- A crumble to top potatoes, vegetables and other dishes
- A munch with wine and cocktails
- A base for canapés
In the canapé category, the toppings are only limited by one’s imagination.
- Thin-sliced prosciutto or Serrano ham makes a nifty “ham and cheese” hors d’oeuvre
- Salmon caviar with crème fraîche on the Rosemary Crisp is very elegant
- So is a thin-sliced cucumber with dilled creme fraîche on the Italian Herb Crisp
|
The website has a variety of tasty recipes including:
- Spiced Red Lentil Dip to pair with the Sesame Crisp
- Truffle-Scented Risotto to top the Aged Parmesan Crisp
- Seven-Layer Taco Dip to serve with the Jalapeño Crisp
- Roasted Tomato Soup to serve with the Rosemary Crisp
While you have to pay for them, the crisps are otherwise free:
- Wheat-free
- Gluten-free
- Sugar-free
- Egg-free
- Trans fat-free
- Preservative-free
- Free of artificial ingredients
The all-natural, handmade wafers are essentially cheese and seasonings. That makes them high in calcium. Because aged parmesan is used, the lactose level is lower than with younger cheeses. And, cheese is a low-carb food. |
