What You’ll Need to Make These Mini Pumpkin Cheese Pies
These mini cheese pie appetizers are really inexpensive to make and only require a few ingredients:
- 8oz block orange sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 wheat thin crackers or similar
- 12 triangle shaped pita crackers or similar
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
How to Assemble the Pies:
Slice the 8oz block of cheese into 3 thin sheets. Then use the triangle crackers as a guide to cut the cheese into triangles
Use the cream cheese like glue and stick the cheese to the crackers using it. Put the triangle piece on the bottom and half of the wheat thin on the back as a sort of crust.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a really small pastry tip with the remaining cream cheese and dollop a little on each pie to resemble whipped cream.
You don’t need any baking skills or even mixing skills to assemble these mini pies. They are the perfect way to impress a crowd without spending a ton of money or attempting to combine flavors. They are simply cute and everyone loves cheese!!
