Savoury Biscuits and Crackers

Savoury biscuits and crackers, for cheese or other tasty toppings, are easy to make at home.

And with so many shop-bought packets containing environmentally disastrous palm oil, being able to rustle up your own biscuits and crackers is a real boon.

Perfect with a snack or part of a cheeseboard, or for dipping into with hummus, in this post I share recipes for my favourite savoury biscuits and crackers.

Most of them will keep at least 2 weeks in an airtight container. Some even longer.

Thin and crispy, oaty and crumbly, or seedy and gluten-free, you’re sure to find something to love!

EASY HOMEMADE CRACKERS

This is one of my earliest, simplest, and most popular homemade cracker recipes.

Make with just flour, salt, olive oil and water, or add different flavourings to create an infinite variety.

SOURDOUGH CRACKERS

The sourdough version of my basic Easy Homemade Crackers, these are great for using up excess sourdough starter.

But I think they’re so good it’s worth making extra starter just so you can bake these!

EASY SEED CRACKERS

Grain-free, gluten-free, made with nothing but seeds, water and your chosen seasonings, Easy Seed Crackers are light, crispy, and delicious.

The not-so-secret ingredient that holds these super-simple crackers together is chia seeds.

CHEESEJACKS

Rather like a mini, crispy savoury flapjack, Cheesejacks are a great accompaniment to cheeseboards or eat as a snack.

Incredibly easy to make and super-tasty.

BEETROOT CRACKERS WITH NIGELLA SEEDS

My Beetroot Crackers with Nigella Seeds not only look good but taste wonderful too.

Beetroot brings an earthy sweetness while nigella seeds add a contrasting mild bitterness that becomes quite addictive.

RYE, SPELT & SESAME CRACKERS

Wholesome and moreish, Rye, Spelt & Sesame Crackers have become one of my favourites. Wholemeal rye and wholemeal spelt, both ancient grains, add a certain nuttiness along with sesame seeds.

DIGESTIVE BISCUITS

My Homemade Digestive Biscuits recipe is another of my most popular.

Unlike the palm oil-laden big brands, these are semi-sweet so are just as good with cheese as dunked in a mug of tea.

SCOTTISH OATCAKES

If you want a completely savoury, oaty biscuit then classic Scottish Oatcakes fit the bill perfectly.

So easy and satisfying to make, I think they’re head and shoulders above shop bought ones.

PARMESAN & CHEDDAR BISCUITS

These intensely cheesy, buttery light and melting Parmesan & Cheddar Biscuits might just be the best cheese biscuits you’ve ever tasted!

So moreish, they disappear fast. Especially good alongside a glass of mulled wine or port.

CHEESY SCOTTISH OATCAKES

Here’s another cheesy biscuit, this time based on my classic Scottish Oatcakes.

Wickedly good, plenty of tangy of cheese means Cheesy Scottish Oatcakes are on another level.

SESAME CRACKERS

Thin and crispy, with lots of earthy sesame flavour, I created Sesame Crackers to scoop up dips like hummus and baba ganoush. But they’re just as good with cheese or peanut butter. So tasty, you can even snack on them without a topping.

WALNUT & PUMPKIN SEED SCOTTISH OATCAKES

Walnut & Pumpkin Seed Oatcakes are another variation on my classic Scottish Oatcakes.

In fact, I think they may be even better than the original. Nuts and seeds marry perfectly with nutritious oats. Optional walnut oil intensifies the nutty flavour.

CARROT, TURMERIC & BLACK PEPPER CRACKERS

Carrot, Turmeric & Black Pepper Crackers have a mildly spicy warmth combined with a little sweetness from the colourful root vegetable.

Great with all sorts of dips and spreads, not just cheeses.

FLAKY CHEESE CRACKERS

I just had to update this post with my latest recipe because Flaky Cheese Crackers are incredible.

An easy, melt-in-the-mouth snack which are just perfect as a nibble with drinks.

I hope you enjoyed my recipe round-up for savoury biscuits for cheese and found lots you want to try.
