Best 7 Mustard And Cheese Crackers Recipes

CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together butter, cheese, egg, mustard, salt, and red-pepper flakes until smooth. Add flour and pulse until combined. Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Slice dough into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange, 1 inch apart, on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool completely on racks before serving.

HOMEMADE SQUEEZE CHEESE AND CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the butter and cream cheese. Process until fully combined. Add the cheese, milk and mustard powders. Process again until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe onto the crackers and serve immediately. Can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but let sit on the counter until it's soft enough to put into the piping bag before using.

MUSTARD AND CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Blend butter and cheese in a food processor until almost smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until just combined. Divide dough between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll each half into an 8-inch log. Freeze, wrapped in wax paper and then foil, until firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut 1 log crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange 1 inch apart on 2 buttered large baking sheets. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer crackers to a rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

MUSTARD CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Blend together butter, cheese, and yolk in a food processor until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until just combined. (If you have a small processor, divide butter mixture after blending and pulse with remaining ingredients in 2 batches.) Transfer dough (it will be very soft) to a bowl and chill, covered, 15 minutes.
• Halve dough, then shape each half into a 12-inch log on a lightly floured surface. Wrap logs in wax paper and foil, then chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unwrap logs and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a sharp thin knife, then arrange slices about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake in batches, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer crackers to racks to cool, about 5 minutes. Line sheets with clean parchment between batches.

FRIED SALTINES WITH CHEDDAR AND ONION

Steps:

• Slice the Cheddar in neat tablets slightly smaller than the saltines. Slice the onion into thin crescent moons (not half-moons), cutting from root to shoot ends so the ribs fall apart more easily, are shorter and, therefore, more manageable to chew and swallow.
• Heat the oil in a deep-sided sauté pan over medium-high to 350 degrees. Stick a wooden chopstick in the oil to see if it sizzles. If it does, it's ready. Fry the saltines in 3 quick batches, adjusting the heat as needed, using a spider or a slotted spoon to swirl them around a little and to make sure they cook evenly to golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack until cool. They keep for a week in an airtight container.
• Set the crackers, cheese and onion on a platter to serve with mustard in a ramekin.

10- MINUTE MUSTARD DIP

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl, then stir in liquid ingredients.
• Mix thoroughly, cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.
• Serve with chips, crackers or pretzels.
• Also great on pork loin and chicken.
• Recipe states refrigerated shelf life is two months, but I haven't tested this.

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
• In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
• Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.
