Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Have an oven tray handy.
2. In a medium bowl, combine ground and whole linseeds, chia seeds and salt. Whisk in ½ cup cold water. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Give the mixture another stir to bring it together into a ball of dough. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper to approx. 2mm thick. Using a sharp knife or cookie cutters, score dough into around 40 bite-sized crackers, then transfer the whole bottom sheet of baking paper with crackers on top to an oven tray and bake 35-40 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely (crackers will crisp up further once cold). Break into individual crackers and store in an airtight container until needed (for up to 5 days).
4. In a small food processor, blend the whipped feta ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice. Transfer to a small lidded container and refrigerate until needed.
5. When ready to serve, slice cucumber lengthwise and scrape out seeds using a small spoon and finely chop. In a bowl, combine cucumber with herbs and lemon juice.
6. To serve, top crackers with about 1/2 teaspoon whipped feta and a few pieces of cucumber.

Variations

Make it low FODMAP: Swap garlic for a drizzle of garlic-infused oil. Limit your serve to 4 crackers.
