Instructions
-
Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with saltine crackers. Arrange the crackers in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
-
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each cracker, making sure the cheese covers the entire cracker.
-
Add approximately 4 mini marshmallows on top of each cheese-topped cracker, spreading them evenly.
-
Place the tray under the broiler and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the marshmallows have browned and become slightly gooey.
-
Carefully remove from the broiler and allow the crackers to cool slightly before serving.
-
Enjoy your delicious snack! Just be careful, as the cheese and marshmallows can be very hot right out of the oven!
Additional Tips:
- If you want to make this snack a bit more indulgent, you can use flavored cheese, like pepper jack or a blend of cheeses, for an extra kick.
- You can also experiment by adding a few other toppings, like a drizzle of honey, to balance out the sweet and savory flavors.
- Make sure to keep an eye on the crackers while broiling, as the marshmallows can burn quickly.
