Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the center.

FAQs
Can I use shredded cheese instead of slices?
Shredded cheese may melt unevenly and spread, so slices are recommended for uniform crackers.
What can I use for seasoning?
Popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs, but they’re tasty even without seasoning.
