Cheesy Crackers

100% would make this recipe for Cheesy Crackers again.

I had left-over ricotta cheese and I wanted to use it up. I found a recipe for olive stuffed cheese balls but my kids didn't like the olives - but they loved the cheese ball on the outside. So I tweaked the recipe to use more ricotta, added different seasonings and turned them into baked crackers (crackers will be soft). Yummy!

Cheesy Crackers Ingredients

3/4 c Ricotta Cheese	1/2 tsp Seasoning Salt (I use Lawry's)
1/4 c Parmesan (grated)	1/4 tsp Paprika
3 tbs Butter (softened)	Salt (optional)
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce	Black pepper (optional)
1/2 c Flour	Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions for Cheesy Crackers

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Blend cheeses with butter and Tobasco. Stir in flour, salt and paprika. Mix well.

Take a scant teaspoon of dough, roll into a ball and press flat. Lay on baking sheets lined with Silpat or other non-sitck surface.

Bake for 10 minutes, flip over and bake 5 minutes longer (until lightly browned on both sides). Move to a plate or rack to cool. Taste better cooled. Store left-overs in fridge (if there are any - my kids gobbled these up).

Options: before baking sprinkle crackers with salt, black pepper or sesame seeds.
