Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 100 grams Sharp Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 75 grams Brie cheese (rind removed, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 unit Milk or egg wash (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Pulse briefly to mix.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the grated Cheddar cheese and chopped Brie to the food processor. Pulse until the cheeses are evenly incorporated and the mixture begins to clump together.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough starts to come together but is not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a flat disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out your desired cracker shapes.
Place the cracker shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. If desired, brush the tops with milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown.
Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
