Best 4 Cheez Its With A Zing Recipes

HOMEMADE CHEEZ-ITS RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Dough: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Toss cheddar with dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in cream, mixing with a flexible spatula until dough comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface, knead until pliable and smooth, then divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a roughly 15- by 11-inch rectangle, no more than 1/8-inch thick. Transfer each to a parchment-lined half sheet pan, then cut into 1-inch squares using a fluted pastry wheel.
• For the Egg Wash: Whisk egg, yolk, water, and salt together in a small bowl. Brush over prepared dough, then sprinkle with additional salt to taste. Using a bamboo skewer or chopstick, press a small indentation into the center of each dough square. (This is strictly for a Cheez-It look and is therefore optional.) Bake until golden brown, about 24 minutes. Cool to room temperature and enjoy immediately, or store up to 1 month in an airtight container at room temperature.

HOMEMADE CHEEZ ITS

Steps:

• Combine shredded cheese, butter, salt, onion powder and garlic powder in a food processor, if available. Otherwise, combine ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add flour and again pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add 2 Tbsp of water and pulse (or mix using your hands) until the mixture resembles dough. This took a couple of minutes in my food processor, and a little bit longer using my hands. Add the remaining tablespoon of water if the dough is too dry.
• Divide the dough into thirds (or roll into logs), cover and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Either roll out the dough and cut into squares or sliced pieces from the logs and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes. Crackers are done when they are a light to a medium golden brown.

CHEEZ IT'S WITH A ZING

Steps:

• 1. Pour cheez it crackers in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of olive oil on to crackers and stir up well. Sprinkle Hiden Valley Ranch dressing powder mix and stir well. Add dill weed. Let set over night. Serve as a snack if your having a party, or just having some friends over.

EASY CHEEZ-IT CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Take the milk, egg, a little salt and pepper and whisk together in a bowl, put aside.
• Crush the cheeze its in a ziploc bag, okay to have small chunks here and there, pour onto a plate.
• Take chicken and dip in milk mixture and then roll in cheeze its.
• Place on another plate and continue until all chicken is coated.
• I love to run each piece through x2 to get extra coating and use the whole mix.
• Place on baking sheet and bake 20-30 minutes depending on size.
• Cool and serve, very yummy with ranch dressing as a dip.
