Easy Cheesy Crackers is a homemade recipe of savory crackers to enjoy as appetizers or snacks. Delicious and easy to make, these appetizers are perfect for a Sunday in the family or as a snack to have around. They go really well with cold beers.
Today I decided to make again this easy , delicious recipe. Did I ever tell you how much I love homemade cheesy crackers? I grew up eating them quite often.
It was also a great snack to have around the house for possible guests. I don’t make them very often because I have no self control around them. I just cannot stop visiting the tray until nothing is left. I love the simplicity of the ingredients and how easy it is to make them.(here you have another recipe)
You do not need any special skills to put the dough together, so there is no excuse to not try to make them at least once and see how they are. None of the store bought crackers are going to beat these crackers, trust me!
These cheesy crackers are great served with beer, at parties and gatherings as appetizers or simply as snacks to munch on them. You can sprinkle them with all kinds of seeds. My favorites are poppy, caraway or sesame seeds.
You can also cut the dough in any shape you like. This time, I made triangles and squares, but you can also use a cookie cutter and make any shapes you like. Kids like these crackers too, so it might be a good recipe to play with in the kitchen.
Enjoy and happy easy baking!
