I was hesitant to make these based on all the reviews complaining they were too salty. I used Danish Blue Cheese (no Stilton in my little one-horse town so I skipped the added salt and baked off a few to taste. These are incredible! I just wish I had put the salt in as the recipe stated. I suppose I can sprinkle a little bit on before baking the remaining crackers for my dinner party on Friday - if these make it until then. I fear they will be calling my name for the rest of the week.

I followed the recipe to the letter, using Stilton, Kosher salt, etc. and had no issues with salt. Both my husband and I liked the crackers, although this style of cracker does tend to be a bit dry for my personal tastes, but that's me not the recipe. I tried one topped with a bit of horseradish and some lean roast beef - yum! The next one will be with a buffalo-wing cheddar that I found at BJs and some cooked chicken as toppers.

Awesome. If you use unsalted butter and real Stilton - salt should not be an issue - I followed the recipe exactly. I also made them with sharp cheddar and pecans (proportions exactly the same - DELISH!!! This is a keeper!!!

I made these last year, and will try again this year. BUT,I will omit the salt (or check the mixture before adding any. Last year I added all 2 tsp, and they were way, way too salty! I'm not salt shy, and made sure to purchase a great stilton. I LOVE the homemade crackers, and am going to try different cheeses with this savory shortbread style recipe.

Ina! Thank you for this recipe. I tried it last year when preparing a dinner for 12. Everyone loved these crackers! Even my husband and son, who NEVER, and I mean NEVER like blue cheese, LOVED these crackers and wanted more! I will be entertaining again in the next few weeks, and I will be serving these crackers will to accompany Port Wine Poached Pears and Argulula Salad with blue cheese crumbles and walnuts. Thank you!

I love Ina's recipes, I love blue cheese, and unfortunately I love salt,plus I measure accurately but WOW! these were way over the top with salt. Our grocery store did not carry Stilton so I substituted the best blue cheese I could buy (Rosenborg. I did use unsalted butter. I think the cheese brought the saltiness up way up. Sorry, Ina, this is not a recipe I will make again unless I could find Stilton. It was quite an expensive mistake.

These crackers were great! I made them for a dessert & drinks party and they were liked by everyone who likes bleu cheese. Those that don't, don't know what they are missing. I could not find Stilton at my grocery store so I used regular bleu cheese. I love Ina and have made several of her recipes with no complaints.

Great appetizer and not difficult to make. You can even make it a few days in advance and they're just as good. You have to like aged cheese and sharp flavors to appreciate this recipe, though.

I made this for a birthday luncheon. The guest ate them as if they were going out of style. My family made me make some more. Once again, the crackers were devoured. This recipe was so appreciated that I'm going to try the parmesan/thyme crackers next.
