Looking for a simple and quick recipe for a delicious appetizer? These cheese and herb cookies are the perfect choice! They are crunchy, filling, and full of flavor, ideal for serving at parties, picnics, or even as a quick snack at home. Let's see how we can prepare them step by step!

Ingredients:
- 100 g sheep cheese
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 100 g butter (at room temperature)
- A bunch of fresh dill, finely chopped
- A bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper (preferably red or yellow for extra color)
- 2 walnuts (optional, for a special taste)
- 1 package of salted crackers

Instructions:

1. Preparing the cheese mixture: Start by grating the sheep cheese. This step will help the cheese incorporate better into the mixture. Add the cottage cheese, soft butter, dill, and finely chopped parsley into a large bowl. Use a fork or spatula to mix the ingredients until you get a smooth mixture. Make sure the butter is well distributed to avoid clumps.

2. Adding the vegetables: Cut the bell pepper into small cubes and, if using, chop the walnuts. Add these ingredients to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Enhance the flavor of the dish by gently mixing them in. The bell pepper will add a pleasant contrast of texture and color, while the walnuts will provide a unique taste.

3. Assembling the cookies: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, place the salted crackers. Use a spoon to put a generous layer of the cheese mixture on top of each cracker. Make sure to cover the crackers well so that the flavors blend perfectly in every bite.

4. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for about 10 minutes, or until they turn slightly golden and the cheese starts to melt. This step will intensify the flavors and create a delicious crust.

5. Serving: Once the cookies are ready, let them cool slightly before serving. You can garnish them with a few fresh dill or parsley leaves for an attractive look. These appetizer cookies are perfect to be served with a glass of white wine or a fresh cocktail.

Variation suggestion: For a more intense flavor, you can also add some finely chopped black olives or dried herbs like oregano or basil to the mixture. You can also experiment with the type of cheese used; goat cheese adds a special touch!

These sheep cheese appetizer cookies are more than just a simple appetizer - they are an explosion of flavors and textures that will surely impress your guests. Try them and enjoy every bite!
