Cracker Cheese Snowflake Design (Print View)

Crisp crackers topped with delicate snowflake-shaped cheese slices and garnished for festive appeal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crackers

01 - 24 plain round or square crackers (e.g., water crackers, butter crackers)

→ Cheese

02 - 7 oz semi-firm cheese (e.g., cheddar, gouda, swiss), sliced 1/8 inch thick

04 - 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
05 - 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
06 - 2 tbsp cream cheese or soft spreadable cheese

# How To Make It:

01 - Use a small snowflake-shaped cookie cutter to cut snowflake shapes from the cheese slices.
02 - Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each cracker to help the cheese adhere; this step is optional but recommended.
03 - Place a cheese snowflake on each cracker, pressing gently to secure it.
04 - Sprinkle chopped herbs, diced red pepper, or a dusting of black pepper over each bite to enhance color and flavor.
05 - Arrange the bites on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
