BAKED CHEESE CRACKERS

Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Preheat the oven at 350F/175C
- In a food processor add flour, salt, butter and the grated cheese. I used sharp Cheddar cheese but you can also use Gouda or Edamer cheese
- Let the food processor work and slowly add the water, 1 tablespoon at the time
- In less than 5 minutes you will obtain a nice compact dough
- Wrap in plastic paper and refrigerate for 1 hour
- Place the dough in between two foils of parchment paper. You might want to cut the dough in 3/4 pieces if you do not have a big working station. Roll the dough with a rolling pin in order to obtain a thin 1/8 inch layer
- Using a small cookie cutter (I used the small ones for fondant) cut out the shapes that you like.
- Place the small crackers on a parchment paper or silky mat on a baking sheet, one next to the other, leaving some space in between.
- Using a toothpick poke some holes in each cracker. This is a very important phase not to get the crackers doughy but fluffy and light instead.
- Bake the crackers for 20 minutes until lightly golden and crispy
- Check at 15 minutes, every oven is different!!
- Let cool on baking sheet, they will keep crisping up while cooling down

Steps:
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter; press mixture into the bottom of a 10" springform pan; set aside.
- Blend cream cheese and sugar together (in a food processor or with a medium-speed electric mixer) until smooth; add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition; add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; blend well; pour filling over the crust and spread evenly.
- Lay a sheet of aluminum foil that has been bent up slightly to form a "foil tent" over the top of pan and not touching cheesecake (this is to prevent overbrowning) then bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes (remove foil tent after 50-55 minutes) or until top is set.
- Combine sour cream and sugar; remove cheesecake from oven and immediately spread sour cream mixture over its top; return cheesecake to oven for 5 minutes to set topping; remove from oven.
- Cool cheesecake on wire rack; cover and refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
- Just before serving remove sides of springform pan and transfer cheesecake to serving platter; garnish cheesecake with berries (we like chilled cherry pie filling on top) and serve.
- OPTIONAL: Just before pressing the graham crust into the bottom of the springform pan, spray the pan's inner sides with a little no-stick cooking spray, sprinkle a spoonful of combined graham cracker crumbs and sugar into the pan, then tilt and spread that mixture around so that it sticks to the coated sides and later adds to the visual appeal of your finished cheesecake.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse together butter, cheese, egg, mustard, salt, and red-pepper flakes until smooth. Add flour and pulse until combined. Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Slice dough into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange, 1 inch apart, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool completely on racks before serving.

PARMESAN CHEESE CRACKERS
Steps:
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the flour, cheese, and pepper and mix at low speed until blended. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.) Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before rolling out.
- On well-floured parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rough rectangle, a little less than 1/4-inch thick. The dough will be somewhat delicate and may crack in places, but you can just push the edges together with your fingers. Carefully transfer the dough to the cookie sheet and prick evenly all over with a fork. Cut with a pizza cutter or a knife into 1 1/2-inch squares, making a grid.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven, just until the crackers turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes. As they come out of the oven, run your pizza cutter or knife again along the grid to separate the crackers (the edges will have baked together a little bit in the oven). Let cool on the pan, then gently separate the crackers with your hands. They will be slightly fragile. Cut the figs in half and serve with the crackers.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère. Freshly grated cheese will give you the best results.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and interest to your crackers. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme or oregano.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the crackers tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Roll the dough out thinly: This will help the crackers to be crispy. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the crackers: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
- Let the crackers cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up even more.
Conclusion:
Homemade cheese crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a little creativity, you can make cheese crackers that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or an elegant appetizer, cheese crackers are a great option. So next time you are in the mood for a snack, try making your own cheese crackers. You won't be disappointed!
