If you’re a fan of any cheesy baked snack, then you’re going to love these no questions asked! The only question you have to ask yourself is will I grate some cheese, put it in a bowl with some flour, salt, butter and water? If the answer is yes, then another question is will you mix those ingredients together to make a dough, roll it out thin, cut THAT into squares and bake them in the oven? If your answer is YES, then you’re ready. If you say no, please leave this landing page.

Cheez-It’s actually made with only five ingredients that you probably already have on-hand. It’s a simple technique that you will remember for a lifetime. These crackers are big on cheesy flavor with an addicting snap. Customize them with herbs, a dash of cayenne, or even parmesan for an extra kick. Once you try them, you are not allowed to EVER go back to the boxed version again! 🙂

Let’s take it step by step. Grate the cheese! Good cheese, yummy cheese or that cheese block in your fridge that’s about to start growing mold.

Next is the dough. Use a food processor! The cheese will disperse much more evenly and create a ball for you. Wrap it up and let it refrigerate to develop more flavor.

Let’s roll the dough. Use a rolling pin to smash the dough evenly into a very thin slab of dough. Cut the dough into strips, then into squares, before transferring to a sheet tray. WHO CARES if they are even squares. The more weirdly shaped and ridiculous the better.

Make the crackers the night before or fresh in the morning. Treat yourself to good crackers like these once in a while. It’s unlike anything you’ve bought in the store before. Enjoy!
