You can use whatever cheeses you have on hand for this recipe. I’ve used three types of cheese but a good aged cheddar will work just fine on its own. Split the mixture in half and add another flavour such as fresh herbs or seedy mustard to create a second cracker option.
POLENTA, CHEESE AND SESAME CRACKERS RECIPEMakes 40
150g aged cheddar, grated150g smoked cheddar, grated50g parmesan, grated1 Tbsp white sesame seeds1 Tbsp black sesame seeds2 Tbsp polenta¼ tsp crushed chilli flakesOther options1 Tbsp fresh chopped thyme or rosemary1 Tbsp seedy mustard
1. Preheat an oven to 200C. Line 2 flat baking trays.
2. Into a large bowl place the grated cheeses, sesame seeds, polenta and chilli flakes, mixing well. Place tablespoons of mixture on to the tray, allowing room for spreading. I usually do about six-eight to a tray. Place into the oven for 12 minutes until golden. Let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes then remove to a cooling rack.
3. Store in an airtight container.
