Ingredients for Parmesan Garlic Oyster Crackers
I used the following ingredients for this amazing snack: Oyster Crackers, unsalted butter, olive oil, fresh minced parsley, garlic, Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Making the Parmesan Garlic Oyster Crackers
Step 1: First, I melted the butter, along with olive oil, parsley, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: When the butter was melted, I stirred the ingredients together.
Step 3: Then, I added the Oyster Crackers, and stirred to ensure that they were well coated.
Step 4: Next, I poured the cracker mixture onto a non-stick lined baking sheet, and spread them out into a single layer.
Step 5: I sprinkled the Oyster Crackers with the Parmesan cheese and some salt and pepper. Then, I popped the crackers into a preheated 250° F oven for about 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, the Parmesan Garlic Oyster Crackers were golden brown and perfectly crisp. I let them cool completely on the baking sheet and then stored them in an airtight container.
One bite and I could tell that these amazing crackers would become a family favorite. You should try them. Yum!
