Mini cheese and crackers are quick, customizable bite-sized appetizers perfect for parties, snacks, or lunchboxes. Made with assorted crackers, cheeses, and optional toppings, they’re a no-cook, crowd-pleasing favorite.

Ingredients

  • 20 assorted crackers (round, square, or flavored)
  • 20 slices or cubes of cheese (cheddar, gouda, brie, mozzarella, etc.)
  • Optional add-ons: cured meats (salami, prosciutto), fresh herbs, olives, jam, honey, mustard, pickles
  • Toothpicks or mini skewers (optional for stacking)

Instructions

  1. Select a variety of crackers and cheese types for visual and flavor diversity.
  2. Slice cheese into small pieces that match the size of your crackers.
  3. Place one piece of cheese on each cracker and arrange on a serving tray.
  4. Top with optional add-ons like meats, jams, herbs, or pickles for extra flavor.
  5. For stacked bites, alternate layers and secure with a toothpick or skewer.
  6. Serve immediately, or store components separately and assemble just before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm cheeses like cheddar or gouda for clean cuts and easy stacking.
  • To prevent sogginess, avoid pre-assembling far in advance.
  • Gluten-free crackers work well for dietary needs.
  • Add fun by cutting cheese into shapes with mini cookie cutters.
  • Great for charcuterie boards, lunchboxes, or casual snacking.
