Spicy Everything Bagel Cheddar Cheese Crackers

Brunch might be my Sausage, red Pepper and Onion Egg Bake and earlier than dinner, cocktail hour will encompass a number of Tom’s favorites…clams casino, aged gouda cheese, marcona almonds, an expansion of olives (for me), peppered salami and these scrumptious highly spiced the whole thing Bagel Cheddar Cheese Crackers. I made these crackers some weeks ago and Tom cherished them.

When i used to be a child my mom used to make these olives wrapped in cheddar cheese dough. They had been amazing, if you want olives. Tom doesn’t like olives. So I decided to tweak my mother’s recipe a touch and flip it into some thing Tom would really like and BINGO!! Tom can’t get enough of this stuff!

I added the the whole thing topping due to the fact, properly come on it’s everything topping! It’s all of the flavors out of your favourite morning bagel on top of this delish little cheesy cracker. So rather than serving the normal save-bought container crackers upload these on your cocktail hour cheese tray. Come on, Dad is well worth it!
