Welcome to the newest contributor to my blog- my mom. She’s a great Southern cook and this recipe proves that. I associate Cheese crisps with Southern entertaining and throwing baby and wedding showers, but they’re also good for just anytime. What is different about this recipe is the blue cheese and the added rice krispies for added crunch. My mom is a great cook and entertainer and she learned from the best- her mother and grandmother. To honor that tradition, I’ve also included my great grandmother’s Cheese crisp recipe. This is a more traditional take on a cheese crisp, similar to a “cheese straw”.

And to answer your question, no I have not yet tried to make these on the grill . I’m sure it can be done though!

Ingredients:
<ul>
<li>1 stick butter, at room temperature</li>
<li>1/2 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded</li>
<li>½ cup blue cheese crumbled</li>
<li>1 cup all purpose flour</li>
<li>¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper</li>
<li>½ teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1 cup Rice Krispies cereal</li>
<li>1/3 – 1/2 cup finely chopped bacon bits</li>
</ul>
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, cheese, flour, cayenne and salt until it forms a ball stuck lightly together. (You can use your hands or a wooden spoon. There shouldn’t be any ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.)

Fold the cereal into the dough. Pinch off quarter size balls and roll tightly between your hands. Place them about an inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. When all the balls are rolled, flatten each one with the tines of a fork. Bake 15 minutes.

Cool the crisps 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan and serve. Store the leftovers in a tin up to 1 week. Makes about 2 dozen. Double the recipe and give some away. My dad really likes these treats.

This is a variation of my great- grandmother’s cheese biscuits recipe:

Ingredients:
<ul>
<li>1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated</li>
<li>2 sticks butter (room temperature)</li>
<li>2 cups flour</li>
<li>½ teaspoon salt</li>
<li>Dash cayenne pepper</li>
</ul>
Directions:

Sift flour and salt; add cheese, butter and pepper. Mix and KNEAD WELL. Roll, cut into ½ inch slices and put on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
