Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce block Cheddar cheese
  • 12 Triscuit Thin Crisps
  • 12 Chicken in a Biskit crackers
  • 3/4 cup Whipped cream cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Slice your preferred brand of cheddar cheese in half lengthwise, then cut into alternating triangles, slightly smaller but no bigger than your Triscuit crackers. Top the Triscuits with the cut cheddar wedges.
  • Transfer the cream cheese to a sturdy ziplocking sandwich bag, then push it all down into one corner of the bag. Twist the bag a couple of times in the center to create a piping bag shape.
  • Snip off a small corner of the bag on one side. Use the cream cheese to squirt a strip of 'glue' onto the bottom of the Chicken In A Biskit crackers. Gently press those crackers flat against the back of the cheddar topped Tricsuits to form the pie 'crust'.
  • Plate the crackers however you'd like. Top with a dollop of cream cheese, squeezed from the ziplocking bag so that it looks like whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve, but no more than an hour or the cheese will start to harden.
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • These can be made up to an hour ahead of time, then stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container. No more than an hour though or the cheese may begin to harden and crackers get soggy.
  • Want a bit of greenery? Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions around your serving dish. You could also use fresh parsley leaves.
  • You can make your own whipped cream cheese by softening a brick of cream cheese, then add it to a mixing bowl and whip it with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
