A blog called She Knows had this recipe for an adorable appetizer that looks like a tiny slice of pie, but is really cheddar on crackers. This is adapted slightly to avoid using a pastry bag to pipe the cream cheese - unless you have one!
Ingredients
- A good-sized brick of cheddar cheese, such as Tillamook or store-brand
- Triscuit Thin Crisp crackers – these are shaped like a triangle (and fairly healthy!)
- Chicken in a Biskit crackers
- Whipped light cream cheese
Instructions
- Using a Thin Crisp cracker as a template, cut a triangle-shaped slice of cheese about 1/2″ thick. (We made a stack of cheese slices first, and then cut them into triangles. )
- Put a small dab of cream cheese in the middle of the cracker, and “glue” the cheddar on top.
- Dab some more cream cheese on one edge of a Chicken in a Biskit cracker and glue it to the back of your “pie” slice, to form the back crust.
- Put a dollop of cream cheese on top of the “pie” to look like whipped cream.
