Tangy cheese with crispy crackers and sweet grapes – a quick to make, fiber-rich snack!
Perfectly cut slices of sharp cheddar cheese, ready to top your favorite burgers, sandwiches, or melt into a gooey grilled cheese. Slicing your own cheese from a block ensures better flavor, superior meltability, and avoids the anti-caking agents found in pre-packaged slices.
Serving size: 2 slices
For the cleanest cuts, place the block of cheese in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This firms up the cheese, preventing it from crumbling or sticking to the knife.
Unwrap the chilled cheese block and place it on a stable cutting board. If using a knife, select a long, thin, non-serrated blade. For a wire slicer, adjust it to your desired thickness, typically around 1/8-inch.
Carefully and firmly press down to cut the block into even slices. Aim for 8 uniform slices from the 8 oz block. If using a knife, use a single, smooth downward motion for each slice rather than a sawing motion.
Use the slices immediately for sandwiches or burgers. To store, place a small square of parchment or wax paper between each slice to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Crisp, flaky, and incredibly buttery homemade crackers that melt in your mouth. They're surprisingly easy to make and perfect for snacking, cheese boards, or dipping into your favorite soup.
Serving size: 6 crackers

Prepare the Grapes: Wash the red and green grapes thoroughly. Remove them from the stems and pat them completely dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. This is a crucial step to ensure the dressing adheres well. Set aside. (Time: 5 minutes)
Make the Creamy Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using an electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese for 1-2 minutes until it is completely smooth and free of lumps. (Time: 2 minutes)
Combine Dressing Ingredients: Add the sour cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the whipped cream cheese. Continue to beat on medium speed for another 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is light and fluffy. (Time: 2 minutes)
Coat the Grapes: Gently add the dry grapes to the bowl with the dressing. Use a rubber spatula to fold the grapes into the dressing until they are evenly and generously coated. (Time: 1 minute)
Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. This chilling time is essential for the flavors to meld and the salad to set properly. (Time: 60 minutes)
Prepare Topping and Serve: Just before serving, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the chopped toasted pecans and the packed light brown sugar. Stir to mix. Remove the grape salad from the refrigerator, sprinkle the topping evenly over the surface, and serve immediately for the best texture. (Time: 5 minutes)
