Okay so I made some Cheese and Crackers today- but I'd like to say I elevated it a bit. This is really easy and not groundbreaking- but I had never done this until I saw this on youtube.
You could do this with any type of cheese and any type of cracker that you'd like... but right now I've been really liking the flavored Triscuits. I've tried a few different flavors... they have some really good ones. I used the Balsamic Vinegar and Basil today- but I'll try this with other cheeses and other triscuits in the future I'm sure.
I used sliced Munster Cheese. Munster is probably my favorite cheese. Since this was a big deli cheese I had to break it up into pieces that fit on the Triscuit. It sort of worked better if I put multiple small pieces of cheese on top of each other. The cheese isn't super easy to melt because it's just regular deli cheese but... it still worked really well and the hardest part was trying not to give my dog too much cheese.
So after that I put the crackers in the microwave... figuring out how long to microwave it was the trickiest part. I thought having it in for 10 seconds all at once would be too long... but 5 seconds was way to short. I did 7 seconds and then I looked to see how melted it got and did another 5 after that. That seemed to work the best and it kept it nice and warm and also melty. It didn't taste like cold melted cheese- which is kind of a gross cheese.
I guess if you wanted to further top it off you could. I think if I had a cherry tomato that would have been good. Even a fruit would probably work with the balsamic flavor... but I'm not sure I'm into that. I think other cheeses would have worked too like mozerella or something. The box recommends Ricotta with Strawberry or Fig Jam... I'm not crazy about ricotta on it's own so and I'm not super into the idea of something sweet with this- but I can see how it would work maybe. If you're into that sort of thing you might like it!
Anyway that is all that I did... this is so simple I don't think it's even really a recipe- but it wasn't until EmilyNoel83 said that's a good way to enjoy cheese and crackers that I had tried it... and I don't think it worked when I first tried it... but I decided to give it another try and it worked this time! Really delicious and it's just something tasty to eat!
Hope you guys liked this!
