You might be thinking…WHY? Why do you need to MAKE Cheez-Its when the boxed originals are basically perfect? I kinda agree with you…and certainly I’m not making homemade cheese crackers every time my kids have a craving. BUT I will say that making Cheez-Its from scratch is pretty satisfying. Plus, it’s a nice change of pace from the norm, don’t you think?

Colby Jack for a milder cheese flavor. Pepper Jack wold be great for a kick! Smoked Gouda would definitely make these flavor packed! A mix of Sharp Cheddar and Parmesan would make these even more flavorful!

SO. You want them to be golden brown on both the top and the bottom. If only the bottoms brown they won’t be crunchy enough. But like I said, once the bottoms are browned wait until the tops area little toasty too…this is when the magic happens!
On a Charcuterie Board! How pretty would these be on a board next to some of your favorite fruits, meats, and cheeses? With Tomato Soup…or any kind of soup! These crackers would be amazing with a cozy bowl of soup, don’t you think? With a Glass of Wine. Have a happy hour planned? These would be super impressive next to a chilled bottle of rosé and a plate of fruit. Happy hour made easy! In your kid’s lunch box. If your one of those moms who packs the adorable bento box style lunches for your kids, these would be perfect!
