PARMESAN CRACKERS
These are dainty little cheese crackers with a pungent, meaty, Parmesan edge. It is that extra step of browning the crackers in a hot oven that lends them so much character. It caramelizes the cheese, giving it an earthy, almost porcinilike intensity. That and using good Parmigiano-Reggiano are the secrets to success. The technique, no rolling pin necessary, is child's play. The result is resolutely adult -- especially when you serve them with wine.

Steps:
- In a food processor, combine ingredients, and pulse until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick crackers, and place them an inch apart on sheets. Bake until firm, about 12 to 13 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven, and raise temperature to 500 degrees. When temperature comes up to correct heat, return sheets to oven, and bake for 3 minutes more, or until crackers are deeply golden brown all over. Let cool on a wire rack.

PARMESAN CREAM CRACKERS
Crackers can be made with just flour and water (as in water crackers, or matzo), but like almost everything else, they're better with richer ingredients. These are typically made with butter, oil, and milk or cheese, or both, along with flavorings like seeds, herbs and spices. I like a simple, flakey, buttery cracker, often with cheese. This could stem from my childhood addiction to Cheez-Its. Once you get the hang of it, which will take exactly one try, play around. You might skip the cheese and add freshly chopped rosemary or thyme to the dough. Swapping pepper for salt as a topping makes a difference. Or top with minced garlic or onion, sesame or poppy seeds, or whatever is on your favorite commercial cracker. In every case, you are going to make it better.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, salt, cheese and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/2-inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed. Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier). Score lightly with a sharp knife, pizza cutter or a pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into squares or rectangles later on. Sprinkle with salt or other topping if you like.
- Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: White-fleshed fish like tilapia, cod, or haddock work best for these crackers. They have a mild flavor that pairs well with the Parmesan cheese and herbs.
- Don't overcook the fish: The fish should be cooked through but still flaky. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives add a pop of flavor to the crackers. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely: Finely grated Parmesan cheese will distribute evenly throughout the crackers and melt smoothly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the crackers on the baking sheet so they can cook evenly.
- Let the crackers cool completely before serving: The crackers will firm up as they cool. If you serve them too soon, they may be too soft and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Parmesan fish crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a new snack idea, give Parmesan fish crackers a try!
