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?

Hi, how would you recommend storing these? Ziplock?? In or out of the fridge??

thanks,

Since you are using real cheese, you should store them in the refrigerator.
