Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350F.
Using a food processor, pulse shredded cheese and butter until smooth.
Add flour and salt. Pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add cold water and pulse until the mixture resembles dough.
Roll out dough (about 1/8”) on parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. If your dough is too warm, add to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut lines into dough to form squares. You can bake as is and separate crackers after baking (this will require you to bake middle pieces for a few min longer) OR separate them with space in between before baking.
Brush with a light coat of avocado oil and sprinkle with sea salt
Bake for 20-25 minutes. Crackers are done when they are a medium golden brown. They should all be crispy, you may have to remove some from the oven and bake the rest for a few more min
