A lovely little addition to the Christmas Cheeseboard for Day 11 of TPW 12 Days of Christmas
Ingredients:
120g oatbran (cereal aisle in the supermarket)
160g porridge oats
salt and black pepper
85g flavoursome Cheshire cheese
50ml olive oil
100ml hot water
Preheat the oven to 160c (fan)/180c/Gas Mark 4 and line two trays with baking paper.
Put the oatbran and porridge oats into a large bowl.
Season well with salt and pepper and crumble in the cheese.
Give it all a good mix up and then add the olive oil.
Stir it round before adding the hot water. Using a wooden spoon or spatula to begin with start to work the mixture into a firm dough.
You will need to get your hands in just to finish it off.
If it’s not holding together add some more hot water just a tablespoon at a time.
Now, take 1/3rd of the dough and roll it out to approx. 3mm thick on your surface lightly dusted with flour.
It does have a tendency to crack as you roll, but just using a third of the dough at a time will help with this – also be firm with your rolling pin, a good pressure helps to keep it together.
Cut out your biscuits – whatever shape you fancy – and transfer them carefully to the baking tray.
Gather up the excess that’s been left behind and pop them back in the bowl.
Roll out the remaining thirds of the dough, ignoring all the excess bits for now.
Once you’re all cut out, turn your attention back to the bits in the bowl. These will be dry and crumbly, they’ve absorbed some of the flour used in dusting/rolling out. To get them to come back to a usable dough again add in an extra 2 tablespoons of hot water, knead and roll out again, magic!
Now the trays go into the oven for 20 minutes. Take them out and carefully turn all the oatcakes over. They need to go back into the oven for a further 10 minutes to dry them out.
And that’s the Cheese Oatcake Crackers done! In an airtight container these will last for 2 weeks – plenty of time to see you through Christmas x
Cheese Oatcakes
Ruth Clemens, Baker Extraordinaire
I’m going to have put 10 stone on by the end of the 12 days although I’m loving it so many new ideas and suggestions again this ones getting made too
No big fans of cheese in my household, but still and interesting idea!
Ooo yum I have a feeling they won’t last two weeks in my house! Definitely will be trying this, for some reason I always thought oatcakes would be more complicated!
Awesome! I have some leftover oatbran so this is handy! Xx
They’d be great spread with blackcurrent jam, too.
These look fab….will be making them this weekend! My daughter will love them!
They looks so easy to make – I usually buy them but I may have a go at making them myself! Thank you x
I will definately give these a try. They do not seem too difficult to make and my kids are oatcake mad! We also love cheese in our house and these sound like they will accompany cheese a treat. Thanks so much for this recipe.
I do like oatcakes and these look really good
Homemade crackers will be a lovely addition to the cheeseboard. They look impressive, but not too tricky to make. I like the mix of sweet & savoury recipes you have given, thank you Pink Whisk!
Was just looking for a recipe like this for my own hampers x
These look great, & not too difficult either!
I have some oatbran in the cupboard…know what I’m going to do with it now!
I’m putting a hamper together and these will be perfect to include. They look delicious.
they look fantastic but I’m guessing easily breakable if you don’t get the mixture exactly right.
My daughter loves cheese so these will go down well!
I think they look very satisfying and moreish.
What a great idea, no more shop bought crackers for me this christmas :0)
Could be interesting for the Scottish side of the family
These look great. He likes cheese, i like oatcakes! Perfect.
easy and cheesy
These will be good for the childrens lunch box. They will like having a go at making them too
Mmm, I think these would go really well with the giant dip selection that I always get in at Christmas
And they don’t look too tricky either! 
Yummy!
These are just “the biscuit” – cheesy! Ha ha ha – sorry it just tickeled me this morning! Will def make these with my children.
looks yummy and easy…
Great idea. Not noticed oatbran before but guessing Mr. Sainsbury has some lol xx
Mmmmm…..cheese….
I love cheese more than Wallace and gromit!
x
Do you think I could use other cheeses aswell like a one with cranberry in?
Absolutely! x
They look lovely. Can’t wait to try them.
Will go with my Christmas Chutney i have made
this is one I won’t attempt, mine would be too thick or too thin lol
Being a good Scottish girl I love oatcakes.I also love cheese.I’ve never combined the cheese inside though so I’m definitely going to try.I’ve made a fair few of your Advent recipes so far and,even for me,they’ve been failsafe!
I Will have to cook these while no ones around otherwise they be eaten like some of the gingerbread men! Thanks again Ruth for another great recipe.x
Another yummy idea!x
Look yummy. I have never made savoury biscuits before will be looking out for oat bran in my weekly shop.
Rx
Great cheese lovers here, good to have another savoury recipe.
mmmm…..they look gorgeous !! As does the hamper – oh that my luck would be “in” this christmas !!!
Yet another fab recipe, so sad tomorrow is gonna be the last day as I am so gonna miss this!!
These look yum! Will have to give these a go.
I’ve made oatcakes quite a lot (they always have an off-putting slight green tinge?!) but cheese and oat crackers, yum, yes please!
I love cheese and I’m sure I have all the ingredients, yay!
I can do these… I’ve been looking for a cracker recipe.
Do you think seeds would go in them too ok ?
Yes definitely x
I love cheese! These are going to go down a treat!
These appeal to me because I have a savory tooth, but occasionally I stuff my face with cake!!
Great that these keep so long. Gives yout plenty of time to use upa ll the leftover cheeses and chutneys
Mmmmmmmmmmm. I’m trying to lose weight for my wedding next spring, I can see it’s a useless endeavour…
Looks yummy!
Ah! Now I can use that packet of oat bran I found at the back of the cupboard! How did you know? Thanks!
Mmm delicious,especially alongside a steaming bowl of tomato soup!
These look great!
What a great idea – they look delicious and so easy to make
I have a total cheese addict in my household – these look fab!
)
well I have got to try these, looks a lovely receipe
I’m gonna be so sad when this 12 days is over! Maybe winning will cheer me up?! Worth a shot Ruth? haha xx
These look great!!!!
great money saving recipe – lovely tasting by the looks as well
I do think the price of cheese biscuits is astronomical and havent been buying many
wont have to now!!
Making these today!
No way they’ll last until xmas in this house : )
I’d have to make them at midnight the day before because they wouldn’t last!
I love biscuits and cheese as an alternative to dessert.x
oh these look so easy, gunna have to try these x
Ooh they look very tasty, and I could probably manage to make them (not sure they’d last til Christmas here though!)
Another one I really need to try – we are all going to put at least a stone on over Christmas at this rate with these lovely ideas
I’m going to have so much food in the house if I keep cooking at this rate :0) well stocked for Xmas definitely
My hubby would love these, and relatively straightforward to make! These will be on our buffet table on Boxing Day morning
x
My mum and sister love oatcakes!! Another recipe I’m going to try this Christmas! Thank you Ruth for your great recipes
x
The range of recipes you’re having this year is great – I wouldn’t have thought of making my own cheeseboard crackers, but it’s so simple!
I love oatcakes, but have never made them, so will definitely give this a try!
OOh something yummy for my 15 month old!
These would be great in the kids lunch boxes, definitely try this recipe too! So happy I’ve found this site, so many yummy recipes!
I will have to give these a try! Cheese biscuits are a favourite in our house x
Hi Ruth, I,m betting mine wont look as neat as yours, but they will taste good!
Sorry, I,ve got a bit carried away with putting comments…then read the rules! In my defence I,ve just worked out how to do this whole posting a comment thing!
From severely challenged at IT.
May just give these a try! Look easy to make. Loving the 12 days of Christmas recipes. Thanks Ruth.x
I’ve had these before and they are delicious!
They look good. will be giving these a go. x
These look yummy – I may try experimenting with different cheeses
I’m making 40 hampers for Christmas and was looking for a good cheese biscuit recipe, so I will definitely give these a try! Thanks
Children will be very excited about these! x
How easy, will try soon! Yesterday I tried the filo pastry rolls with hummus and carrots, delicious!
Oh I must try these they look fab!
Gosh, those look really nice. And moreish!
my hubby is oin to luv these
Love cheesy biccies
never tried these before,but will now.
i bought a bag of oatbran a few weeks ago,
so will give these a try.
thanks ruth xx
Cheesy nibbles always go down well in our house
Hmmmmm YUMMO!
In all my years of baking I’ve never made crackers to go with cheese….and I’ve never made cheese either. Maybe time to have a crack at both…excuse the pun
I love shop bought oatcakes so I think I am going to have to have a go at making these xx
I looove good old cheese & crackers & grapes…
I’ve got all the ingredients for this, so I think I’ll give it a go.
who knew that they would be so straight forward to make…another yummy recipe, thank you xoxo
I don’t like cheese but the rest of my family would love these.
Sounds yummy! I have some rice bran though, would that work instead of oat bran, or would it ruin the crakers?
I’m afraid to try it as things usually go wrong when I don’t follow recipes…
I don’t think it would have the same finished texture if you subbed oats for rice bran x
See, this is why I don’t trust myself to change things! I’ll go on the hunt for oatbran
Thanks x
I think this is another recipe i will have to try, let’s hope the kids like them.
Oh my life, I can seriously see myself scaring the lot and trying to do the “I have no idea where they went” face. Super scrummy looking.
Love the idea of something savoury!
They look lovely
super, thinking about the xmas cheeseboard already!
Definately one to try.
Mmmm I might try these for our Christmas Eve visitors!
They would make a really nice gift
yum! hubbie will love these x
Buying ingredients at lunchtime. They look great.
These look nice and easy peasy! Yum, just got to find the oatbran.
The cheeseboard is one of my favourite things about Christmas and these will definitely be making an appearance! Thanks Ruth
Will get the little one helping with these
Ooooooo now I might have to make christmas tree crackers now. My diet is not thanking you!
An excellent way of getting the husband to eat oats!
This is something I have never thought of making but you have made it look so quick and easy I will have to try them at some point.
Yammy cheesy crackers..A very healthy snack.
They look delicious!

Mr Roy will LOVE these!
I’ll try and make these, nice clear instructions. Oddly enough we only seem to have oatcakes at Christmas
These would go great in a hamper I’m making for my grandad
Good Lord, and they’re gluten-free (if you’re sure the oats and oatbran you buy are gluten-free) and potentially vegan as well, if you switch it to a dairy-free cheese of some kind. Those of us who sometimes cook for people with special dietary needs thank you!
Wow – look easy and tasty. Will definitely give these a try!
Another great idea for Christmas. Oh there will be a feast at my house yeh <3
mine will have to be made without the cheese!!! still nice thou xx
Oatcake crackers, cheese and sweet chilli/tomato chutney-heaven. Not going to last in my house till xmas, lol x

Got to have some cheese at christmas!

I can’t believe that you manage to find something inspiring each day – genius x
Will make a nice change
These look delicious and perfect for my toddler too!
I am SO going to miss this competition when it finishes. I love the recipes, the ideas it brings and the temptations to do some serious kitchen stuff shopping!
Ooh, checks cupboard… I have all those things in stock.
these look lovely and will keep
These biscuits look much more substantial and flavoursome than the supermarket variety.
A few ingredients and imagination transports to wholesome deliciousness!
These look great, will def. be trying them out! : )
They look tasty
I should imagine these are delicious with a bit of port & stilton
Great idea for a homemade Cheeseboard
Very clever x
My diet is planned for January. I don’t think I will have finished eating all these lovely treats by then!
lets try these with my cheese phobic daughter (who eats pizza! lol!) x
I’ve never made my own biscuits for cheese – yet these are so easy!! Will make them for my cheeseboard!
Another great receipe for me to try – thanks Ruth! xx
Oh I would just love these, going to have to add them to my list of baking
I don’t even like cheese, but I know I would like these!
With correct email address this time lol
These look fab! Perfect for the after dinner cheese board!
dont think these are something Id make for myself, but Id give them a go with the kids : )
What great prizes!
These look wonderful. I’m going to make some to go with your sweet chilli chutney I made a few weeks ago. I might even try a batch with dried cranberries which I think would go great with many cheeses.
Lovely recipe xx
mmm just the thing to go with all the yummy cheese I bought at Bath Christmas Market
Anything with cheese in it gets my vote
Beautiful recipe Ruth. You always get your bscuits looking so precise and neat!
Love cheese! They look delicious! Will be baking these…and probably eating them all too!
These look too easy!!! Will definitely be trying these for the cheese board.
These look delicious and so straightforward to make – my daughter will love them in her lunchbox with some cubes of cheese.

These sound lovely and would go really well with the wendesley dale cheese with the cranberries in x
My dad loves cheese, i am going to try and make these for him

Merry Christmas!

Look delicious
im going to love these.
Definitely going to make these asap.
YUM again I will have some serious making and baking to do this year
thank you
Delish! Cheese is one of my fave foods. Deffo making this recipe this Christmas..but might experiment by adding dried cranberries to the crackers..Do you think that would work Ruth? Do you think it would it affect how long it keeps?
Sounds lovely! It might affect keeping time because of the moisture kept in the cranberries may soften the cracker. I’d dice them fairly finely and then see how you go on (and do let me know!) x
Yum Yum in my tum x
Wow, another scrum my recipe, will be baking, taking and sharing these this Christmas
wow, these will be great for christmas
These, Wensleydale and Port….perfect winter supper!
Ooooh, yummy!
these would go down a storm with my mum! she loves a good cheese board with exciting crackers and biscuits like these, oh and not forgetting the port! thank you for all these great recipes!
Another amazing idea, I can’t wait to make these!!! One word for today’s prize amazing!!!
These are making me mourn my broken oven more than ever – I wonder whether I can invite myself over to friends houses under the guise of ‘catching up’ (but really to use their ovens). Bake-dates!
It’s not Christmas without a good cheese board, and these will be a welcome addition.
Love cheese biscuits – will definitely give these a go!
Love cheese, love oats perfect combo!!!
Look yummy
Yum yum! I’ll be making some of those for Christmas day cheese & biscuits.
Another great recipe Ruth, and so simple. Mega diet will have to start after all this I reckon! x
Yummy!!! I’m making these tomorrow!!!
Mmm can taste them already. Definitely on my to do list

Another great idea
Yummy… another tasty recipe to try!!!
My husband LOVES oatcakes so I will give these a go for him. They look lovely. Thanks Ruth
I’ve never attempted crackers. I will give these a go! Thank you.
These will make a lovely treat to go in my in laws Christmas hamper :0)
Must definitely give these a go
I’m having to lower cholesterol but with oats, oat bran and oil, no butter I reckon I can allow myself the cheese. Well I’m going to anyway!!
You are clever!
These will be great with tomato soup!
My partner would love these.
Nice idea for teacher presents…
Now these I need to bake! Where am I going to find the time to make all these wonderful goodies
I don’t want the 12 days to end!!
A tasty recipe without too many ingredients, like it!
Great recipe – must give them a go!
Yummy, just what I need for my New Years cheese board.
I usually buy my oat cakes but this looks so easy that I think I will give it a try
Lovely receipe…shame i cant eat cheese!!
I love oatcakes and it’s good to have home-made to ensure they are not too high in salt too. Oatbran is such a healthy ingredient especially in the fight against high cholestrol. Thanks for the recipe.
these are perfect to give my little niece and far better than buying them from the supermarket
I’m really looking forward to trying this!
Nom nom nom!! Extra cheese for the Christmas cheeseboard!! Lovely!!
I am having a trial run of these tomorrow in preparation for Christmas. They sound delicious !!
I’ll definitely be making them. The ones I’ve bought look and taste like cardboard!
These look great, and i happen to have everything i need to make them! Guess what i’ll be making for christmas day
Love the Bosch Tassimo that you’ve added to the hamper. Oh no, i can feel a song coming on – ‘I love coffee, i love tea…’!
Obsessed with cheese so will definitely be having a go at these
Great to have something Christmassy my diabetic dad can enjoy too. Thanks for recipe.

Wow these look so easy to do – definitely bookmarking this recipe x
Thanks Ruth, so many lovely recipes from you, you really are a girls best friend in the kitchen! You and my kitchen Aid !!!
Ooh, they actually look quite doable, I’ve never done crackers. I’m thinking they’d be good for my son’s post-swim snack (I think he’s fed up of flapjacks!)
These look yummy!
Mmm these look delicious
There goes the diet just a little bit more!
These look good – will definitely be making them
I’ve made oatcakes in the past and found them a bit bland, so I’ll definitely try making these for Christmas. Putting cheese in them is a great idea!
Love oatcakes, especially the cheesy ones, but never tried making my own. Getting the ingredients tomorrow.
keep drooling over all the lovely things in the hamper…..if only
I love you ! I have been looking for a decent recipe for oatcakes AND I have a bag of oat bran that I didn’t know what to do with – winner!
I love these savoury crackers
These look lovely! I assume they would work with a cheddar too?
Mmmm, they look lovely, might bake them for xmas!
Another great recipe, great for the time of year
Oooooh, sound yummy!
they look so good. I live in the Netherlands and not sure oatbran is available here. Need to find out and pronto!
Never made crackers before but will give these a go – goota love some cheese and crackers at Christmas!!
golly,looking at these i may just have to tweak this receipe a little as cheese doesn’t like me toomuch, i’m thinking dried fruit, apple juice instead of water and a dollop of honey – i’ll let you know!
This is a new one for me – homemade crackers on the cheeseboard – can’t wait to try them out on the family. They look gorgeous.
Yummy i love cheesey biscuits so will have to try these
Yum
love cheese in this house
This is perfect timing! I’ve got a cheese and wine ugly christmas jumper party on Saturday and have to bring something. This is it!! Thanks
wow, those look yummy and also easy to make which is a bonus
Wow – better and better every day
oh this hamper is going to be absolutely amazing!!!!
Perfect idea to put in my Mum and Dad’s Christmas hamper. Thank you!
A delicious sounding savoury nibble – can’t wait to try them.
Another superb idea. Ruth, have you thought of giving us some “slimming” recipes for post-christmas! Thanks. X

Definately one for the cheese board

Great contribution to the Christmas food – and will last 2 weeks. Thank you yet again!
My favourite part of Christmas Day is the cheeseboard, so this is a definite winner for me! Xxx

I’ve never made crackers so will be fun to experiment with these.
SOund interesting and very yummy!
Mmmmm my mouth is watering lol. Will have to make these asap.

Thanks Ruth, as a busy mum, I rate recipes by the number of steps and list of ingredients, this passes the test
if only I had a nice tray to bake them on ( don’t get me started about rubbish non stick trays!!)
Delicious! My mouth is watering! Xx
Great idea – can’t wait to have a go !!
look like would be fun for kids
mmmmmmm
Another excellent recipe
I love oatcakes but never made my own – might have to give it a try! xxx
Will have to try these don’t think friends would believe I had made my own crackers
They look so much nicer than normal cheese crackers!
Great idea!
Yummy x
Nice, printed off
Thanks for another recipe using oatbran as it usually sits at the back of the cupboard
Don’t think these will last 2 weeks here!
Another great idea, these look more ish! I am going to print all 12 days recipes and make a little Christmas book to use every year.
Loved the ‘crispbread/flatbread’ round in GBBO3 but was disappointed only 1 recipe in the book… so this is a great starting point for a new obsession. They’d also make fab addition to a ‘homemade’ hamper – with cookies in a jar, giant gingerbread man etc.
A yummy recipe to try!
These look really good, going to try soon.
You make everything look so easy Ruth!
I love oatcakes and the texture of these looks fab, love the idea of adding cheese too.
Looks great – another fun thing to try!
this is a fab competition

Looks very tasty

From a previous comment, the two ingredients that can make anything taste better is either chocolate or….cheese!! These sound fabulous.

Surprisingly I have all of the ingredients for these in the cupboard so I might just have a try at making them. I’ll pop back and let you know how they turn out….should be interesting! lol.
I will definitely be trying these! x
Super duper!!!!
Looks yummy, I may have to try to make my family discover some British treats!
We are a family of cheeseaholics so these sound great!!
I love the shape Ruth, and what a lovely addition to the cheese board. x
Scrummy, yummy! These will go great with my cheese board this Christmas
Fab. Will be very tasty with cheddar & a dollop of cranberry chutney. Yum!
Another great recipe
I have only just made the salted caramel which are delicious. Can’t wait for these!
Those sound lovely.
my goodness I am loving the look of these! I am quite partial to the odd cheese scone or 4 so may have to give these a shot too! Yummm!
love cheese
yum!!
I like the sound of these. Am baking so much sweet stuff at the moment (peanut butter bars and salted caramels as a treat for hubby tomorrow), it would be good to have some savoury contrast!
Will be trying this recipe too! Always like to have cheese and crackers on Christmas night and these look great!
So simple, my little boy (2 and a half) could make these with me or grandma, he loves baking!
How gorgeous – they look so scrummy – and perfect after all the other rich and decadent Christmas goodies. Thank you for sharing xxxxx
love them! Hubby and FIL will be fighting over them! Fabulous recipe. So straightforward and simple to follow. Fab!!!!!!!!!
I’m actually going to try these they look so yummy x
Oh wow, now I know what I can make with the leftover oatbran from the Bonfire night parkin I made! These look really easy and I bet they’ll be delicious. Going to friends’ for dinner on Friday so may just take some along with me …
cheese straws disappear before they are cooled!
Will definitely try these too
these look fab…some fabulous recipes thanku
They look good, nice idea to have something homemade on the cheese board and very tasty too xx
Fab! So much simpler than i thought they’d be
Yes definitely an addition to the Christmas night cheese board!
It looks delicious.
Who doesn’t like a cracker!!
oooh they look delicious
These will go lovely with my homemade chutney.
Mmm mmmm mmmm!! Lovely!
delicious
definitely trying this one
Really hoping I win all these goodies!!!!
Going to make these for the Boxing Day buffet!
Sure my kids would love this too.
My son would love these in his pack up
Oh they look lovely! I love cheese and so do the kids I am going to make these today. But there may be none left for when the kids get home from school!
I love oatcakes and it would be interesting to compare shop and homemade ones … although I think I might know who will win !!
Another delicious recipe Ruth. I am going to be as fat as a fool by the time I have tried them all.
They look like something my 15 month old would enjoy
These look easy peasy and yummy! They will be cleared eaten unlike the selection boxes of crackers – one of which I still have unopened from last Christmas! Oops!
I’ve been wanting to make some sort of crackers for cheese for ages. With your step by step instructions ill be making a batch soon.
Thanks Ruth.
Great recipe, will be trying this one out…
Thank you for the recipe
Ruth, what did you use to cut them to get such an even shape and size and the edging on them?
Thanks
Rosie
It was a rectangular shaped cutter with a fluted edge, the edging was a bit lost on them to be honest because of the coarse texture of the dough. It was a cutter I picked up from the garden centre a while ago, neater than cutting it with a knife x
Love the idea of making a hamper pressie with these. I’ve got some cellophane bags and pretty ribbon… Just add cheese!
My little one loves oatcakes and cheese, so these would be the perfect combo for him.
Perfect Ruth, you never seem to run out of ideas. How do you do it?
Perfect to add to the crimbo cheese board and if they last long enough without being scoffed, for the same cheese in the New Year!!
Another good recipe to try with my girls, looks yummy xx
These look delicious – will have to wait a while before I try them, broke a tooth a couple of days ago and now have a hamster cheek (and earache) from the infection. Feeling very sorry for myself.
These look yum, my youngest loves cheese!
i guess we should have soemthing healthy amongst all the sugar hahahaha
Can’t wait to give these a try – they look yummy!
Lots of cheese fans in my house never baked crackers before so will give them a go
these look yummy!
Pretty controversial, but I would hands down give up chocolate for cheese (some of my friends think I’m mad!). These will definitely be featuring on my cheeseboard this Christmas x
Yum!
I’m going to give these a try! My husband will love them!!
Have never made biscuits but will try these
I love oats, love crackers, love cheese! What’s not to love!?
These look delicious and while I’m not a big fan of cheese and crackers, I think they’ll taste delicious with some veggie pate on top.
I bet these are much nice than shop bought I’ve saved the recipe for Boxing Day
Ooh they look lovely!
I’m definitely going to try these
These will go perfectly with my homemade onion chutney! I usually have Staffordshire oatcakes with melted cheese (a totally different thing!)
Tried this – brilliant. excellent accompaniment to cheese pate
these look scrummy, thanks for the chance to take part x
just scrummy with a christmas cheesboard, thanks for the idea
fabulous recipe x
these look lovely! have bookmarked for future reference.
These are for my British brother-in-law! – as a French woman, I’ve got to have bread with my cheese.
Made these with the kids today (2 and 4) we all love them. Thankyou for a great recipe x
I think my husband might want to marry you!
These look surprisingly good!
More yummyness !
I love oatcakes: very traditional here in Scotland & a great addition to a bowl of Stovies!
Cheese and crackers …. mmmm delicious …. cheese and homemade crackers …… irresistible
What a change to the usual “crackers”.
They look great – something to try soon!
Claire
Ruth, you’ve outdone yourself with the 12 days this year. thank you for all the great recipies
I’d never have thought of making my own crackers and I’m sure the coffee will be much needed after all the cooking x
Bit of cheese on top chutney and red wine lovely
I absolutely LOVE cheese & crackers. I could eat it all day. This will be made tomorrow! Thanks x
Made these this morning, we can only get the anaemic-looking white cheshire cheese down ‘ere but they were still deeeelish, will try using a mature ched or blue cheese next time…yum!
Another yummy, easy recipe, look forward to trying with different cheeses.
Just made a batch of these in heart shapes for out baking club Valentines meet tomorrow night. Will link back to here when I blog about them.
