These cheese crackers made in our Thermomix are deliciously cheesy with a savoury salty hit. Enjoy with a glass of wine or beer or with some cheese and chutney or savoury jam - see the links below to browse our recipes, if you fancy making your own.

Tip
- This cheese cracker recipe can easily be adapted if you want to make less or more crackers.
Cookidoo Tips
- The cheese cracker dough can be prepared a day or two in advance, or frozen for several weeks, and sliced and baked shortly before serving.
- Replace edam cheese with any strong-flavoured hard or semi-hard cheese (eg: cheddar).
- Omit salt in the dough, and sprinkle with coarse salt before baking.
- Instead of 200g of cheese, grate a total of 250g and reserve 50g for sprinkling on the crackers before baking.
- Make cheese straws - instead of shaping the dough into a log for slicing, form into a flattened ball and wrap in cling film. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then roll out the dough (3mm thick) between 2 sheets of baking paper and cut it into strips (approx. 10cm x 1.5cm) with a fluted pastry wheel. Bake as directed in the recipe.

Non-Thermomix Instructions
I'd suggest the recipe can easily be adapted using a grater and stand (food) mixer. My suggestions are as follows:
- Grate the cheese into the stand mixer bowl.
- Add the flour, butter, egg and salt and mix for about 30 seconds until a dough is formed.
- Remove the dough, place it on a long sheet of cling film and shape into a thin log (approx. 40cm long, diameter 4cm). Wrap the log in the cling film and refrigerate until firm enough to cut in slices (approx. 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 180C fan. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
