Oh So Easy Pie Crust Crackers: A Tasty Snack or Addition to Your Soup Bowl

Transform store-bought pie crust into savory homemade crackers, a snap to make and a tasty addition for your soup bowl!

Pie crust crackers are a fun and easy way to use that refrigerated pie crust

that’s hiding in the back of your fridge and fast approaching its expiration date.

They’re also super easy to make!

Roll out your pie crust between two sheets of parchment paper,

adding a little flour to the parchment for extra insurance

to prevent it from sticking.

Remove the top sheet of parchment, then cut dough into 1 1/2 inch squares,

using a fluted pastry cutter or a pizza wheel.

Slide the parchment with dough squares onto a baking sheet.

Separate the dough squares slightly then brush with egg wash

(egg beaten with a 1 tablespoon of water) and sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt

or the herb seasoning blend of your choice (grated Parmesan cheese would be great too).

I used Everything Bagel Seasoning, a blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, dried garlic, and dried onions.

Bake at 400 degrees F. for 9 – 12 minutes or until golden.

Remove crackers to a wire rack to cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

Depending on how thin you roll out your crust, one pie crust will yield approximately 5 dozen 1 1/2″ crackers.

Enjoy as a snack or a tasty addition to your soup bowl!

Looking for some favorite warming soups for fall or winter?

Here are some favorites:

Favorite chicken soup for cold and flu season, Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

This ‘penicillin-in-a-bowl’ uses one of my favorite short cuts~ a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Orzo fills in for traditional noodles and lemon adds a bright, refreshing note to the chicken broth.

Ina Garten’s Winter Minestrone

I can’t say enough good things about this soup recipe. . .foolproof, hearty, comforting, but the proof is in the bowl.

Less-Loaded {with Calories not Flavor!} Potato Soup

 A recipe makeover for Potato Soup with the addition of oven-roasted cauliflower which becomes sweet and nutty when roasted. The Less-Loaded version is out with the calories and saturated fat~ but in with plenty of flavor and creamy texture, without the cream.

Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup

Use a turkey or chicken smoked sausage for a healthier alternative, or andouille sausage for extra spice and heat.

Irish Beef Stew with Irish Whiskey Soda Bread

Cold weather comfort food and a delicious stick-to-your-ribs Irish Stew and soda bread recipe with currants and caraway seed soaked in Irish Whiskey.

Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

 A comforting and creamy chicken tortilla soup that comes together in 30 minutes using a time-saving short cut.

Roasted Pear and Butternut Squash Soup

We enjoy this soup year round and it’s a favorite that’s requested regularly by my hubby. Use cubed butternut squash available at most grocery stores for a time-saving shortcut.

Butternut-Apple Soup with Cranberry-Cheddar-Pecan Pie Crust Leaves 

A sweet and savory soup for fall, served with pie crust leaf sandwiches of cranberry, cheddar and pecans

Italian Sausage, Butternut and Black Bean Chili 

A hearty and colorful chili with the nutrition and flavor bumped up with butternut squash, fire roasted tomatoes and protein-rich black beans. Chia seeds add some unexpected crunch, thickening power and beneficial omega-3s.

Slow Cooker Smoky Turkey & Sweet Potato Chili

Your slow cooker does all the work in this keeper recipe that’s a nice change from traditional chili. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add some smoky flavor and a little kick while the sweet potatoes help balance the heat. Make this recipe with the beans of your choice: lima, kidney, white or black beans. Cornbread croutons are a tasty addition and easy to whip up from a 50 cent box of Jiffy corn muffin mix to top your bowl!
