Ingredients
- 2 cups Mini round or square crackers
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, dried parsley, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the mini crackers to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated in the butter and herb mixture.
Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the crackers, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crackers are lightly toasted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the herbed cheese and cracker bits to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Transfer the crackers to a serving dish or platter. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
