30 minForget the cracker aisle. These homemade sesame cheddar sticks are flaky, buttery, and loaded with sharp cheese flavor.
The dough comes together fast with just flour, butter, shredded cheddar, sesame seeds, and a good hit of Worcestershire sauce that gives them a savory, almost umami depth. Roll them thin, slice into sticks, and bake at high heat until they’re golden and shatteringly crisp.
They’re the kind of snack that disappears from the platter before you even sit down.
Kitchen Tips
- Keep your butter cold and work it into the flour quickly for the flakiest texture
- A zigzag pastry cutter gives the edges a fun, rustic look
- These keep well in an airtight container for up to a week, if they last that long
