Cheese And Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl.
• Once combined, mix in the flour and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
• The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
• Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough to ⅛ of an inch (½ cm), pinching the cracks on the ends.
• Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch (2 ½ x 2 ½ cm) squares and pierce a hole in the middle of each square for ventilation during baking.
• Place the separated crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put the Cheddar, flour, butter, salt, seasoned salt and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Use a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool before packing up.

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.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
• Place butter into a mixing bowl; add Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix together with the back of a spatula until thoroughly combined.
• Mix flour into cheese mixture with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle in cold water, 1 or 2 drops at a time, and mix with spatula until it comes together in a dough that holds its shape when squeezed.
• Transfer dough to a work surface and press into a thick, flattened disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll dough out on a floured work surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut 1-inch wide strips from the dough. Cut strips crosswise into rectangles about 1 1/2-inches long. Use the back of a bamboo skewer to punch 5 small holes into each cracker. Arrange crackers onto prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crackers are browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Let stand about 3 minutes for crackers to cool and release from the foil. Let cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the butter and cream cheese. Process until fully combined. Add the cheese, milk and mustard powders. Process again until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe onto the crackers and serve immediately. Can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but let sit on the counter until it's soft enough to put into the piping bag before using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine milk, cornstarch, and seasoning in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• Add Cheddar cheese and mix until smooth. Sift flour into the mixture a bit at a time and mix until you have a dough ball you can roll out.
• Roll out the dough on a sheet of parchment paper until as thin as you can. Cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter, and then into squares. Slide crackers and parchment paper onto a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt, and red pepper flakes in large bowl; add Cheddar cheese. Toss until cheese is coated. Pour in melted butter; stir until mixture is moist and crumbly. Add rice cereal and knead by hand until dough is well blended.
• Roll dough into small 1/2-inch balls; arrange on a baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light and crispy, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, Cheddar powder, cornstarch, salt, turmeric, garlic powder and paprika in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the Cheddar, Monterey Jack and feta and pulse for 30 seconds. Add the butter cubes and pulse for 20 seconds. Add the cold water and pulse until the mixture forms a large ball, about 10 seconds.
• Remove the dough from the food processor and place between two 12-by-16-inch sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin so that it fits evenly between the two
• pieces of parchment. Transfer the dough to a sheet pan and refrigerate for 40 minutes.
• Gently remove the top layer of parchment. Prick the surface of the dough with the tines of a fork so that it doesn't puff too much as it bakes. Dip 3-by-2-inch alphabet cutters into flour and stamp out letters but do not remove them. Place the dough on the sheet pan back into the fridge to firm up.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Remove the scored letters from the fridge. Flip the pan onto a flat surface and
• gently peel off the parchment paper. Quickly place the letters onto the prepared pans. The scraps can be rerolled by placing the dough between two 6-by-8-inch pieces of parchment paper and chilling them again.
• Bake the letters for 8 minutes. Rotate the pans and bake until the bottoms are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Allow the crackers to cool on the sheet pans. Serve right away or place into an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
