10 Servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese
- 12 Triscuit Thin Crisps
- 12 Chicken in a Biskit crackers
- 3/4 cup whipped cream cheese
Instructions
Prepare the Cheese:
- Slice the block of cheddar cheese lengthwise into halves. Cut each half into small triangular wedges, ensuring they are slightly smaller than the Triscuit crackers for proper assembly.
Assemble the Base:
- Place one cheddar triangle on each Triscuit Thin Crisp, ensuring the cheese is centered and neatly positioned.
Create the Crust:
- Transfer the whipped cream cheese to a sturdy zip-top sandwich bag, pressing it all into one corner. Snip a small opening at the tip of the bag to create a piping tool. Pipe a thin strip of cream cheese along the bottom edge of each Chicken in a Biskit cracker. Attach these crackers to the cheddar-topped Triscuits, positioning them to resemble a pie crust.
Add the Whipped Cream:
- Pipe a small dollop of whipped cream cheese on the center of each cheddar triangle to mimic whipped cream on a pie slice.
Serve and Store:
- Arrange the assembled crackers on a serving platter. Refrigerate for up to one hour before serving to maintain freshness and prevent the cheese from hardening.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the Triscuit Thin Crisps and Chicken in a Biskit crackers with gluten-free cracker alternatives. Ensure the replacements are sturdy enough to hold the toppings for the best presentation and flavor experience.
