Copycat Cheez-it Crackers

[shannonG]

I discovered that I can make my own crispy cheese-it style crackers (with real cheese in them, hahaha). They're gluten free too!

Here's how you do it:

Get a package of ultra thin slices of sharp cheddar cheese, I used Sargento but any decent brand will do.
Cut the cheese into squares, then place them on a silpat lined baking sheet for 30 minutes at 300F.



They come out crispy and taste like cheese-its!!

If you want you can sprinkle them with salt as soon as they come out of the oven, but they don't need it at all!!

I really want to try this but I don't know what a "Silpat" is, is that another ingredient?

No, a Silpat is a non-stick baking mat that you can use so you don't have to grease a pan or worry about foods sticking. You can find them here, I have several different sizes and types.

Sounds interesting! I may have to try it! Does it have to be Sargento's brand?
