Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.
LOVE these cheesy bits for an appetizer. They go great while you are sipping your wine.
This is not a completely original Plan Z recipe. I saw a version very similar to this on line and I just adjusted it to suit my tastes. The BEST low carb bites you could ask for. My guests raved! The person who designed this recipe didn’t take credit so I guess that person will remain anonymous but I am very grateful.
Serves: Makes about 18
Ingredients:
- 6 oz of cream cheese softened
- 2 cups of grated cheddar (in this recipe it will be worth it to buy a good block of cheddar and grate it yourself)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp of salt
- ¼ t of chili powder (or to taste)
- ½ cup of super fine ground almond flour
- butter or olive oil cooking spray
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Then, in a medium bowl add your ingredients. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or spatula. Drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 10 – 15 minutes or until light brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. They will be about 1/4″ thick and moist. Carefully remove them from the cookie sheet and serve warm or at room temperature.
If you want them to taste like the biscuits at Red Lobster, add a half teaspoon of garlic powder.
I can see myself making these with a combo of cheddar and blue cheese…
Or Gruyere…
Or Mozzarella and Parmesan combined. All would be very yummy!
If you want to make a stiffer cracker, squish the spoonfuls down gently with the bottom of a glass to flatten them before you bake them. Then keep a close eye as they bake. They will cool to a stiffer consistency and taste a lot like Cheeze Its.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Dauphinoise Potatoes (aka Potato Gratin)
This is a wonderful potato casserole from the southeast part of France. Works great on a buffet too if you like room temp potatoes or have a chafing dish. For the LOWEST glycemic index, make this…

Turkey Tips
Many people think the Thanksgiving turkey dinner is the most intimidating meal to make. It's not. Here's some rules to follow.
OMG! I made these on my first day of reboot because I’ve really missed cheese. I added the garlic and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Also, I wound up with 36 because I used a tsp to drop them on my pan. First round I used the same pan I used for oven bacon so they cooked in a wee bit of bacon grease. Heavenly. They picked up a bit of bacon flavor and I almost drooled they were so good. The second pan was cooked on garlic flavored olive oil but I used a fork to flatten them. Not sure which batch was better but this recipe will definitely be a staple in my kitchen.
That’s wonderful, I’m so glad you liked them! 🙂
