Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the shredded cheddar cheese, Rice Krispies cereal, smoked paprika (if using), and black pepper (if using).
- Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon each) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound as they will spread.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and bubbly, with crispy edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Notes
For best results, use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded, as it melts more evenly.
Ensure crackers are fully cooled before storing to maintain crispness.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of cayenne pepper for a different flavor profile.
