Homemade Cheez-Its

Because they incorporate cream instead of the more common butter, these homemade crackers brown more flavorfully as they bake, creating a deep, nutty, grilled cheese sort of vibe. Eat 'em out of hand, or serve with hearty soups, stews, and chilis.

Homemade Cheddar Cheese Crackers

These homemade cheese crackers are so much more flavorful than store-bought. This is a fun DIY baking project that the kids can also participate in.

Cheese Crackers

Use cheese with a lot of flavor. Aged cheddar instead of a mild one, for instance. Any cheese you can grate will be fine: Parmesan, Swiss, Romano, or any others you like. For a softer cheese, I used Limburger. You could also use a soft blue cheese, goat cheese, or even a Camembert. Or a combination of what's left in your cheese drawer.
