Sourdough Cheese Crackers

These crackers were born from my grandma’s “nothing goes to waste” rule—every leftover bit of sourdough starter found new life. The aroma of cheese melting into golden, crispy bites takes me right back to her cozy kitchen. These crackers are the perfect savory snack for any time of day. Make a batch and share the warmth!
