To prepare these delicious crackers, we will start by gathering the necessary ingredients. You will need 250 grams of grated cheese, which can be a mix of cow cheese and sheep cheese in equal proportions, or you can opt for one of the two types, depending on your preference. Also, make sure you have 150 grams of margarine, one whole egg, two hundred grams of good quality flour, and optionally, a little salt to enhance the flavor.

The first step is to mix the grated cheese with the soft margarine, which should be at room temperature, so it integrates easily into the mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Then, add the egg and continue mixing until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. If you want your crackers to be a bit saltier, now is the time to add the salt, being careful not to overdo it, as the cheese already contains salt.

Once you have obtained a uniform paste, gradually incorporate the flour. It is important to add the flour gradually to control the consistency of the dough. When the dough becomes firm enough, you can gently knead it on a lightly floured surface, being careful not to overwork it.

Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a sheet about 1 cm thick. Use a knife or a dough cutter to cut equal-sized sticks. These will be the base of your crackers, and the shape can vary according to your preferences.

Place the sticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Beat the other egg in a small bowl and use a brush to coat each cracker, making sure they are evenly covered. This will help achieve a golden and appetizing crust. Sprinkle poppy seeds, cumin, sesame, or even grated parmesan on top, depending on your tastes.

Preheat the oven to a medium temperature, about 180 degrees Celsius. Once the oven is hot, place the tray with the crackers inside and let them bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy. You will be greeted by an enticing aroma that will fill the entire kitchen.

After taking them out of the oven, let the crackers cool slightly on a rack before serving. These crackers are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even at a party. Enjoy!
