Best 10 Mustard Cheddar Crackers Recipes

HOMEMADE CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Put the Cheddar, flour, butter, salt, seasoned salt and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Use a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool before packing up.

MUSTARD CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Coarsely grate Cheddar. In a food processor fitted with steel blade blend butter and cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, pulsing until just combined. In a bowl chill dough, covered, 15 minutes.
• Halve dough and on a lightly floured surface roll into two 12-inch logs. Chill logs, wrapped in wax paper and foil, until firm, at least 2 hours, and up to 1 week; or freeze logs up to 2 months.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• With a sharp thin knife cut dough into 1/8-inch slices and arrange about 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake slices in batches in middle of oven until golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer crackers to racks to cool. Crackers keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.

CRACKER-TOPPED MACARONI & CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Melt 2 Tbsp. of the margarine in large saucepan on medium heat. Add flour; stir until well blended. Gradually add milk, stirring until well blended. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Add cheese, macaroni and mustard; mix well. Pour into lightly greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish; sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. margarine; drizzle over crumbs.
• Bake 30 to 40 min. until top is browned and mixture is heated through.

HAM AND CHEDDAR SNACKS

Steps:

• Cut cheese into 12 slices; cut each slice diagonally in half. Cut each ham slice into 6 pieces.
• Top each cracker with 1 ham piece, 1/4 tsp. mustard, 1 cheese triangle and 1 olive slice.

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.

MUSTARD CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• A food processor makes this come together in a snap but the dough can be made by hand.
• Blend together until smooth the butter, cheese and egg yolk.
• Add remaining ingredients and pulse until just blended. (If your food processor is small, you may have to do this in batches.). Transfer dough (it will be very soft) to a bowl and chill for 15 minutes.
• Halve dough and on a lightly floured surface, shape each half into a 12-inch log.
• Wrap logs in waxed paper then in foil and chill until firm, at least 4 hours. If you plan to freeze them, now is the time.
• Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unwrap logs and with a sharp, thin knife cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices 1-inch apart on baking sheets.
• Bake in batches, switching position of sheets halfway through, baking until golden brown, 12-15 minutes.
• Transfer to racks to cool. Line sheets with clean parchment between batches.
• Crackers, cooled completely, keep in a airtight container at room temp 1 week.

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.

CHEDDAR-AND-GRUYERE CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and poppy seeds. Work in butter with fingers until crumbly. Stir in cheeses. Whisk together milk and mustard; stir into flour mixture with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.

• Place bowl of spread on platter. Surround with crackers and serve.

MUSTARD CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Blend together butter, cheese, and yolk in a food processor until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until just combined.

• 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.
