Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 300°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place 5-6 pieces of sliced cheese (cut into 9 pieces each) onto baking sheet, making mini crackers. Cut them to any size you'd like.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes and then pull them out of the oven to cool.
- Crackers must fully cool to crisp and setup properly.
Tips:
- Use different cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to create a unique flavor profile. Cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack are all good choices.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy snacks, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the Cheez-It mix.
- Make it cheesy: If you want extra cheesy flavor, add a tablespoon or two of grated cheese to the mix.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, can add a pop of flavor to the Cheez-It mix.
- Don't overmix: Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the crackers tough.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the crackers to hold their shape.
- Bake until golden brown: Bake the crackers until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
