Cheese and Crackers

2 ingredients Cuisine: Page updated October 2026

Cheese and crackers is a snack you can put together in about two minutes with nothing but a knife and a board. The dish depends entirely on what you buy, so a sharp cheddar, a creamy brie or a tangy cream cheese will each give a different result. Cut the pieces to fit the cracker, and assemble just before eating so the base stays crisp.

Instructions

Set a cutting board on the counter and put the cheese and crackers within reach.

Cut the cheese into slices or pieces small enough to sit on a cracker without hanging over the edge.

Lay a piece of cheese on each cracker. If you are using cream cheese, spread it over the cracker with a knife instead.

If you like, press a second cracker on top of the cheese to make a small sandwich. Serve right away so the crackers stay crisp.
