Attention, cheese lovers! This may be the best cheese spread you've ever had! My friend's mother gave me this recipe over 15 years ago. I always make it around the holidays, or for football and hockey game nights. Everyone begs for this recipe. Turn this into a pub spread by adding a half cup of your favorite dark ale. Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.

Tips for Making the Best Imperial Cheese Crackers

- Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your crackers. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like mozzarella or gouda for a more subtle flavor. - Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the crackers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then form the dough into a ball and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. - Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven. - Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The crackers are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake them, or they will become dry and crumbly. - Let the crackers cool completely before storing them: The crackers will be easier to handle and store once they have cooled completely. - Store the crackers in an airtight container: The crackers will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion
