Everything Seasoning Crackers. Top Story - December 2023.
It's time for another crunchy cracker recipe! While my cheddar crackers are my most popular, these everything crackers have a few die-hard fans who are always on the lookout for a restock. This recipe is very similar to the cheddar crackers. Originally, I used butter in this recipe like I do with the cheddar, but I wanted to make an option that I could share with friends who don't eat dairy. So, on a whim, I switched out the butter for olive oil. They were an absolute hit!
