any recipes for slightly stale or broken crackers?

email the manufacturer - they will probably send you something as compensation

Hi, I have two boxes of cheese crackers left over from Christmas. Any ideas on what I can use them for?

JoeyEmma

Are they cheese flavoured or crackers to go with cheese?

As long as they're just crackers for cheese, and not actually cheese flavoured crackers, you could crush them up, and use as a base for cheesecake? or mix the with breadcrumbs for a fruit crumble topping, or breadcrumbs and grated cheese for a savoury casserole topping?

I make Southern Style "Fried" Chicken by whizzing up in a blender equal quantities of ready salted crisps and crackers into fine breadcrumbs. I then add some cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder (fresh garlic burns) and salt and pepper.

Get skinless chicken pieces, coat them in seasoned flour first, then beaten egg, then the crumbs. Shove it on a baking tray at about 180' until its all cooked through.

I prefer (and find it cheaper) to make it with thighs and drumsticks (bones still in make it moister).

You can use cornflakes instead of crackers BTW

Donate them if you don't fancy eating them.

I do similar with Ritz or Tuc for making HM Chicken Nuggets. Just bash them into crumbs, then dip nugget sized pieces of fresh chicken breast into milk to help the coating stick and then into the ritz. Onto the baking tray at 180 for about 20-30 minutes depending on size, turning half way through and ensuring no pink juices are left when you think they are cooked.

We have half a box of assorted Jacobs biscuits for cheese left over. The nice cream crackers are gone and we won't eat the rest with butter/ cheese. There are digestives and other cracker type biscuits. Any ideas other than feeding the birds?

Thx

How about crushing them up and using them in a savory cheese cake. I've never made one before, but I've seen it on programmes such as Come Dine With Me.

Jamie Oliver crushes them and uses them in meatballs instead of breadcrumbs!
