Cheddar and Poppy Seed Crackers

I’ve got a little something savoury and cheesy for you over here today.

Because I am a cheese fiend.

I love the stuff. Triple cream brie, lightly veined blue, creamy goat’s cheese and crumbly, sharp cheddar are my weaknesses.

I will very, very happily eat a wheel of blue or a fat wedge of d’affinois for dinner. With the obligatory crackers, of course (olives, quince paste and wine are always welcome, too).

And grilled cheese is my jam. Slathered in butter and cooked slowly in a frying pan, it has to have at least three different cheeses inside so it ooooozes when you cut it in half.

So when I see a cheese cracker recipe, I tend to jump on it.

I’ve made cheddar crackers on the blog before. These crumbly, cheddar and onion ones are my all time favourite. They melt in your mouth, and once you eat one, you can’t stop. And these cheese straws are delicious, too.

The recipe I’ve got for you today is a little less crumbly and more like a cheddar shortbread. I love that they’re coated in poppy seeds! They’re also super easy to make because you don’t have to roll out the dough and cut out shapes; you just slice a piece off the log of dough and bake.

Use a good quality, sharp cheddar for a flavour punch. And they go brilliantly with olives! Enjoy. X
