Crackers are a delicious snack that you can serve between or before meals if you are entertaining guests. Of course, you need some scrumptious cracker topping options too. If you are not sure how to spruce up your cracker platter, here are some great ideas.

Cheese and fruit

While it might sound strange to some, cheese and fruit go really well together. Of course, you need to choose the right cheese and the right types of fruit. Apple and pear are popular with cheddar cheese. Simply slice some cheddar, place it on the cracker and top with a slice of apple or pear.

Fish

If you want to serve smoked salmon to your guests but you don’t have the budget to serve full portions, you can serve it as a cracker topping. This way, you will offer your guests something luxurious without spending too much. You can top with some cucumbers too.

Mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil

If you are looking for a refreshing cracker topping, try slicing some mozzarella, tomato and top with fresh basil. If you like, you can drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the top too. To make it easy for your guests, you should ensure that everything is thinly sliced.

Delicious breakfast

Bacon and eggs are not just great for breakfast. They are a great cracker topping as well. Simply place a piece of bacon on your cracker and top with a piece of egg. Make sure that you hard boil your eggs and slice them so that they are easy to place on top. To make your bacon less fatty, consider cooking in the oven instead of a pan.

Roast beef or turkey

The key to using any kind of meat as a cracker topping is to make sure that you slice them thinly. You can add some cheese, a touch of dill and even some horseradish dressing if you like. Basically, you can pair your meat with foods that you would normally add to your roast beef sandwich.

Sweet options

If you want something sweet, you can top crackers with some peanut butter and jam or peanut butter and sliced banana. Alternatively, you can top them with frosting and add a strawberry with some sprinkles.

Now that you have a wide selection of cracker topping ideas, all you need to do is make your selection. You should ensure that there are different options available to cater to various preferences. In addition, many people like to try more than one topping while they enjoy their drink.
