I received free samples of Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic Crackers from Dare Foods Incorporated mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe, I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Dare foods Inc. and am eligible to win prizes associated with this contest. I was not compensated for my time.
In celebration of Celiac Awareness Month, Dare Foods offered a challenge to Recipe Reduxers. Create a tasty recipe using their new gluten free crackers. Breton has recently introduced two new gluten free crackers with the same great Breton quality, taste and texture: Breton Gluten Free Original with Flax Seeds and Breton Gluten Free Herb and Garlic. I found Breton’s
gluten free crackers at my local Shop Rite supermarket. Regular price is $2.49
per box. I used the Herb and Garlic for my recipe
below although either variety would have been fine.
These
crackers taste delicious. They have great tender-crisp texture and don’t have a
“diet” taste or feel to them. They worked perfect as the “bun” for my sliders. I
also used 12 of these crackers, crushed, to the turkey mixture. I served the sliders open-faced
on crackers on a bed of shredded kale and topped with chipotle-flavored mayonnaise and a slice of cherry
tomato.
Sliders are
always popular. These bite-size burgers are perfect for entertaining. Typical
sliders of course are served on a wheat bun, which may be whole grain if you’re
lucky. But a person avoiding gluten would normally have to eat the slider
without the bun. Not with the sliders below. They are completely gluten free.
Here is the
complete recipe.

1 4.76-ounce box of
Breton Gluten Free Herb & Garlic Crackers (approximately 32 crackers),
