A troop of friends coming over in short notice ? And you don't have anything jazzy at home to serve as appetizers ? Don't panic and don't worry, here is an ace up your sleeve for such situations - Cracker Topper. They are perfect for any party, regardless of the number of guests, or even as snacks to go with your cup of tea. Crispy base with a creamy cheese & tomato topping is divine. Not only does it look attractive, these quick bites are satiating too.
I have used crackers with garlic & herb flavor but you could use normal flavor or even Monaco biscuits. I like to add Parmesan cheese to sour-cream as it gives the perfect flavor & texture to the smooth & creamy sour-cream but you could use the cheese easily available to you. Adding chili sauce not only adds a tinge of spice but also gives that slight orangish color which compliments this dish.
Ingredients:
1 tomato finely chopped
few coriander leaves for garnishing.
salt and pepper to taste
Topping Ingredients:
2 tbsp finely chopped onions (I used spring onions)
To make Topping :
In a bowl combine all the ingredients mentioned under "Topping Ingredients" together & mix well. You can make this ahead of time & store in refrigerator for up to a day or two.
To Assemble the Appetizer:
- Arrange the crackers on the serving plate.
- Add a spoonful of the Topping (or as much the cracker can hold) on the cracker.
- Place some finely chopped tomato pieces on the topping.
- Sprinkle some salt & pepper over the tomatoes & finally top it with a coriander leaf as garnish.
Tip:Assemble these appetizers just 5-10 mins ahead of serving to retain the crunchiness of the base.
That's it, our Attractive, Soopuk easy Cracker Topper Appetizers are ready. Keep the batches coming!!
Happy Snacking!!

What can we use instead of sour cream ?
Shweta Arora says
Try greek yogurt or cream cheese (for cheesier dip).

Shweta, you know how to keep your guests happy! Love the little ridge around the crackers to keep the topping in place.
