Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese slices (Medium or sharp cheddar works well.)
- 12 pieces Triangle shaped crackers (Ensure they are sturdy and not too thin.)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (Full fat is easiest for piping.)
Optional Toppings
- 1 pinch Paprika or pumpkin pie spice (For color on top.)
- 1 tbsp Chopped chives or everything bagel seasoning (For added flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Set out the cream cheese to soften while you prepare the cheddar.
- Cut cheddar cheese into triangles, ensuring they fit snugly on the crackers.
- Lay out triangle crackers on a tray.
Assembly
- Place one cheddar triangle on each cracker, slightly back from the edge to show the cracker.
- Scoop softened cream cheese into a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe a small swirl on the wide end of each cracker.
- If desired, dust with paprika for color.
Notes
For the best flavor, consider adding seasoning to the cream cheese, such as garlic powder or a touch of honey. Assemble the day of serving for crispest crackers.
