Happy Wednesday Slow Roasters! Welcome to The Happy Hour at The Slow Roasted Italian. Today we are featuring a fantastic game day snack. These Pepper Jack Crackers are absolutely show stopping. Great heat, fantastic crisp crackers and amazing flavor! I piped these out with a Wilton W789 cake icer decorating tip. These are also pretty easy to make. For a different flavor try my parmesan bacon crackers, a true crow pleaser.
Enjoy the Super Bowl!!!

Pepper Jack Crackers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, softened
- 1/2 pound pepper Jack cheese, grated coarse
- 1 large egg, separated
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease two baking sheets.
- In a food processor blend together butter and cheese until smooth. Add egg yolk, salt, and cayenne and blend until combined. Add flour and blend until mixture just forms a dough.
- Working in batches, transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 7/8-inch-wide ribbon tip or Wilton W789 Cake Icer Tip (use teeth side up).
- Pipe dough in long strips 2 inches apart on baking sheets. (Alternatively, working in batches, dough may be transferred to a cookie press fitted with a ribbon disk and pressed out in long strips 2 inches apart on baking sheets.) Dough strips may break in places but repairs are not necessary, as strips will be cut later.
- In a small bowl whisk together egg white and a pinch salt until just combined. Brush each strip of dough with some egg white and bake in batches in middle of oven until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- While crackers are still hot, slice into triangles and cool completely on racks. Crackers keep in airtight containers 5 days.

Those crackers sound awesome!
How do you think these would turn out with wheat flour? These look delicious!
I am sure there would be an adjustment of how much flour to add (I would start with 3/4 cup and increase as needed). But, the flavor is so incredible I am sure it would meld beautifully with the wheat. Let me know if you try them with the wheat.
This looks awesome..Yummy Recipe
