Southern 3-Ingredient Spicy Cheese Pennies Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Arrange the crackers in a single layer, leaving a little space between them.
Divide the cheddar evenly among the crackers and top each with 1–2 jalapeño slices.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the cracker edges are golden.
Let cool on the tray for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm.
Practical Woman's Secret
Use reduced-fat cheddar made with 2% milk for better melting than fat-free cheese. Dry the rinsed jalapeños thoroughly so their moisture does not soften the crackers.
Serving and Storage
Serve warm on a platter for an easy party snack.
Refrigerate cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 350°F for 2–3 minutes, until warmed through. For the best crunch, assemble just before baking.
