Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces crackers (e.g., butter round crackers or whole wheat crackers)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (optional, for drizzle)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Lay the crackers out on a serving tray or large plate in a single layer.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well-incorporated and smooth.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag with a round tip, add a dollop of the cheese mixture (about 1 teaspoon) onto each cracker.
If desired, drizzle a small amount of sweet chili sauce over each cracker bite for a touch of sweetness and heat.
Sprinkle a light pinch of paprika over the top of each cracker for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. If refrigerating, allow the crackers to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before presenting.
