Cheese and Crackers Grown-up Style
Creamy, crunchy, salty, sweet, and tangy. Here’s a very grown-up snack I stumbled upon: goat cheese and honey on wheat crackers. Talk about wonderful! The only problem is that I could eat them all day long.
My cracker of choice is always Keebler Townhouse Crackers Wheat
Ready for a flavor and texture adventure? Let’s go. Start with your favorite salted, flavorful cracker of choice. Spread over a good sized dollop of plain, soft goat cheese. On top, a single drop of real honey completes each bite-sized adventure. The goat cheese is creamy and tangy, like a good yogurt. The cracker: nutty, crispy and buttery. Finally, the honey adds a touch of heady sweetness.
The fancy version of this is brie and wildflower or orange blossom honey on a crostini. Great party food, but too labor intensive for a snack. This gives you that same flavor combo, but I think an even greater range of textures and flavors in a much more accessible vessel.
Try it today, you won’t regret it!
Not an advertisement. I really Love these crackers.

Sounds great! If you’re up for experimentation, crackers with blue cheese, honey, and a drop of truffle oil are delicious. An odd flavour, certainly, but fantastic.
I really want to invest in some truffle oil, but haven’t yet found a worthy source. I also need some blue cheese pairing tips, I am too afraid of failure to try on my own. -Katie

oh, yum!! my favorite is baking a wheel of brie topped with minced garlic and honey inside a ramekin… the garlic roasts inside the honey and becomes really sweet offsetting the cheese perfectly. This seems like an ideal alternative for those days that I just need my cheese fix asap 🙂
That sounds delicious! Thank goodness it’s grocery day! -Katie
