Cooking Tips

1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh butter and parmesan cheese (This is the only time I recommend using grated parmesan with the green top.)make a big difference in flavor. If possible, shred the parmesan yourself rather than using pre-packaged shredded cheese.
2. Mix Thoroughly. Ensure the ranch seasoning and parmesan are evenly distributed over the crackers. This helps coat every cracker with the delicious mixture.
3. Bake Evenly: Spread the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. This ensures they bake evenly and get that perfect crunch.
4. Cool Completely: Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This keeps them crunchy and prevents them from getting soggy.
