Ingredients

  • saltine crackers
  • New York state extra sharp cheese (10 oz.)
  • ground red pepper

Method

  • Place crackers neatly on SilverStone (nonstick) cookie sheet. Crackers must fit tightly so cheese will not run between the crackers.
  • Sprinkle crackers with red pepper to taste.
  • Spread grated cheese on each cracker.
  • Turn on broiler.
  • Place pan on bottom rack and leave door open.
  • When the cheese begins to dry out and most of the bubbles are firm on top, remove the pan from the oven.
  • Allow the oven to cool.
  • Return the cookie sheet to the oven set at 150° and close the oven door.
  • Leave the crackers several hours (at least) to dry out.
  • Crackers are best left in the oven until ready to serve (even for days).
