Butter Mix
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (¾ stick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Crackers
- 4 cups oyster crackers (9-ounce package)
- ¼ cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Heat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with non-stick foil to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Make Butter Mix: In a large pan over medium heat, combine the butter, olive oil, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Stir occasionally and melt everything together until well incorporated and fragrant.
- Coat Crackers: Add the oyster crackers to the pan and toss them thoroughly, ensuring each cracker is evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Season: Spread the coated crackers evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them, then season with the salt and a pinch of black pepper for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crackers for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Ensure crackers are spread out evenly for uniform baking and crispiness.
- Cooling completely after baking helps the crackers maintain their crunch.
- Store in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, you can add an extra clove or more minced garlic.
- Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper cheese flavor.
