Oven-Baked Cheesy Fruit and Cracker Snack

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
- 1/2 cup Sharp cheddar, shredded
- 24 Crackers (your choice of type)
- 1 Apple, thinly sliced
- 1 Pear, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This will allow it to reach optimal temperature for baking the snacks to perfection.

2. Prepare the Fruit
- Wash the apple and pear thoroughly.
- Core the apple and pear, and then slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a mandoline for even slices.

3. Assemble the Snacks
- Arrange the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a small space between each cracker.
- Place a slice of apple or pear on each cracker, alternating the fruit types for variety.

4. Add the Cheese Topping
- Evenly distribute the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and shredded sharp cheddar over the fruit-topped crackers. Use a small spoon to ensure each cracker gets a generous amount of cheesy goodness.

5. Bake Until Golden
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
- Bake for approximately 7–10 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt and turn golden brown. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

6. Cool and Serve
- Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the snacks cool on the tray for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Transfer the snacks to a serving plate and enjoy warm.
