Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz) box of oyster crackers
• ¾ cup of butter, melted
• ½ cup of everything bagel seasoning
• ⅓ cup of grated parmesan cheese

Preparation Method

Prepare the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure that the crackers don’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.
Coat the Crackers:

Pour the oyster crackers into a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter (this can easily be done in the microwave in short bursts), then pour it over the crackers. Toss the crackers in the butter until they are fully coated. The butter not only adds flavor but also helps the seasoning stick to the crackers.
Add the Seasoning and Cheese:

Once the crackers are coated in butter, sprinkle in the everything bagel seasoning and the grated parmesan cheese. Toss the crackers again to ensure that the seasoning and cheese are evenly distributed. Every cracker should have a nice coating of this flavorful mixture.
Bake:

Spread the seasoned crackers out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, flipping the crackers halfway through to ensure even baking. You’re looking for a light golden brown color, which indicates that the crackers are crispy and the seasoning has baked into the crackers.
Cool and Store:

After baking, allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness. These crackers will stay fresh for several days, making them perfect for making ahead of time if you’re planning to serve them at a party.

Tips and Conclusion

Bonus Tip:
For a little extra kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the melted butter before coating the crackers. This will add a subtle heat that pairs wonderfully with the garlic and onion flavors in the everything bagel seasoning. You can also experiment with different types of cheese—shredded cheddar or a bit of romano cheese would also work well in this recipe.

Conclusion:
Everything Bagel Cracker Bites are the ultimate savory snack that you didn’t know you needed in your life. The combination of buttery oyster crackers with the bold flavors of everything bagel seasoning and parmesan cheese creates a snack that’s both satisfying and incredibly moreish. These crackers are perfect for when you want to bring a homemade touch to your snack game without spending hours in the kitchen.
