Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 60 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 100 grams Sharp Cheddar cheese (grated)
• 75 grams Brie cheese (rind removed, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 unit Milk or egg wash (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Pulse briefly to mix.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the grated Cheddar cheese and chopped Brie to the food processor. Pulse until the cheeses are evenly incorporated and the mixture begins to clump together.

Step 5

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing between additions, until the dough starts to come together but is not sticky.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a flat disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out your desired cracker shapes.

Step 8

Place the cracker shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one. If desired, brush the tops with milk or egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t over-brown.

Step 10

Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
