Garlicky Five Cheese Appetizer Crisps Recipes

GARLICKY FIVE-CHEESE APPETIZER CRISPS

Steps:

• Process flour, cornmeal, baking soda, sugar and garlic powder in food processor until blended. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spoon into medium bowl. Add cheese, water and vinegar; stir until mixture forms dough. Shape into ball; wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 300°F. Divide dough into 4 pieces; roll each piece into 13-inch circle on floured surface. Sprinkle with seasonings; press lightly into dough. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 22 to 24 min. or until crisp and lightly browned. Cool 3 min. on baking sheets. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

GARLIC PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Lightly coat 2 or 3 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut each pita into 4 wedges, then gently cut or pull each wedge apart, to form a total of 64 triangles.
• Combine parsley, egg white, olive oil, garlic and salt in small bowl.
• Spoon some of the parsley mixture over rough side of each triangle.
• Place triangles, parsley side up, in single layer on baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges of triangles are toasted and parsley topping is set.
• Cool chips on baking sheets on wire racks.

HOMEMADE GARLICKY CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Place flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dill in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine or you can mix manually as well. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and vegetable oil and pulse to combine.
• With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in water until the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and cover with a plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll out dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface; thinner than pie crust if possible, thin like crepes works best. Cut the dough into your desired shapes with a cookie cutter, or cut with a knife or pizza cutter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
• Using a toothpick, prick several holes in each cracker. Don't skip this step; you will not have nice, flat crackers if you skip.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush the tops with remaining melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• While crackers cool, prepare cheese topping: Mix mascarpone, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses with parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Sprinkle over crackers and serve.
