CHEDDAR-PARMESAN CRACKERS



Cheddar-Parmesan Crackers image

These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire. Not only are they crispy, rich and, well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance. That's because once the dough is made it can be frozen and simply "cut to order" as you need it. Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don't have to defrost it all at once. Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old "apples and cheddar" theme by topping them with a dollop of apple or pear butter.

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 dozen crackers, serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces cheddar, coarsely grated
2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, place all ingredients except the butter and water. Pulse 5 times. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter pieces are the size of BBs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the dough holds together. If the dough is still crumbly, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Turn the dough out onto a large piece of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log, 9 to 10 inches long, and square off the ends. Refrigerate, well wrapped, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Or freeze it for up to 1 month. (You may want to cut the log in half or in thirds to freeze if you think you will want to defrost a smaller amount at a time.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To make the crackers, cut the log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet 1-inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers are a light golden color. Turn the crackers and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Cool on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

Homemade Garlicky Cheese Crackers image

Making cheese crackers at home may sound daunting but actually they are quite easy. They require a little more work, then they're worth it. Crackers don't need to be an afterthought. These particular crackers are definitely worthy of their own place on your menu. No weird ingredients or fancy kitchen gadgets needed. You only need some ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen all the time, a cookie cutter, and an oven. That's all! These are super crispy, buttery, and perfect for a snack but if topped and loaded with cheese and herbs, ideal as a side dish.

Categories     Crackers

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
⅔ cup cold water
coarse sea salt to taste
¼ cup mascarpone cheese
¼ cup grated Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 ¼ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dill in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine or you can mix manually as well. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and vegetable oil and pulse to combine.
  • With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in water until the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and cover with a plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface; thinner than pie crust if possible, thin like crepes works best. Cut the dough into your desired shapes with a cookie cutter, or cut with a knife or pizza cutter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
  • Using a toothpick, prick several holes in each cracker. Don't skip this step; you will not have nice, flat crackers if you skip.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush the tops with remaining melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While crackers cool, prepare cheese topping: Mix mascarpone, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses with parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Sprinkle over crackers and serve.

Flaky Parmesan Crackers image

Delicious Parmesan crackers.

Provided by Cynthia_033

Time 1h30m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ cup whipping cream
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and mustard for dough in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined and resembles bread crumbs. Pour 1/2 of the cream in slowly, with the processor running, until combined. Continue adding remaining cream, a little at a time, until dough has come together in clumps and feels like a damp, but not sticky, slightly over-processed pastry dough.
  • Gather dough into a ball, then roll into a log. Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 8 pieces. Lightly flour each piece as needed and feed through one of the thinnest settings of a pasta roller to make irregularly shaped, oblong crackers that are about 1/16 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 8 inches long. Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll dough out on a lightly floured countertop, and cut into any shape you wish.
  • Working in batches, lay crackers on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Bake each batch in the preheated oven until crackers are browned at the edges, golden in the middle, and fully cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes. They will crisp as they cool.

CHEDDAR CHEESE SPRITZ CRACKERS



Cheddar Cheese Spritz Crackers image

Crowd-pleasing treat. A cookie press works best to make this appetizer, but you can also roll out the dough and just cut with cookie cutters.

Provided by littleturtle

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 32m

Yield 36 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
poppy seeds or sesame seeds, to garnish

Steps:

  • Beat together butter and cheese.
  • Add egg yolks, pepper, mustard, salt, and sugar; beat until well blended.
  • Add flour and stir until smoothly blended.
  • Form dough into balls, put into a spritz cookie press and shape crackers on baking sheets.
  • Or chill dough for 1 hour, roll on a floured surface and cut with fancy cookie cutters, then place on baking sheets.
  • Decorate with seeds if desired.
  • Bake uncovered at 375F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Serve warm or cooled.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère. You can also use a combination of cheeses to create a unique flavor.
  • Use a sharp mustard: The mustard will add a bit of spice and tang to the crackers. Dijon mustard is a good option, but you can also use other types of mustard, such as yellow mustard or brown mustard.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the crackers tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the crackers to hold their shape in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The crackers should be golden brown and crispy. Bake the crackers for 10-12 minutes, or until they are done to your liking.

Conclusion:

Mustard and cheese crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just to enjoy as a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of crackers that are sure to please everyone. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
