Name a better duo than crackers and dip — we'll wait. Mary Berg shares an easy salty appetizer or snack with two kinds of dips to spice things up.

Ingredients

Crackers:

Dip:

Spicy Dip Add-Ins (Optional):

Briny Dip (Optional):

Directions

  1. For the crackers: Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Lay the crackers out onto a sheet pan in a single layer and brush with the melted butter. If you have any butter leftover, evenly drizzle over the crackers. Season with salt if you’re not using salted top crackers and a bit of pepper, if desired. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. For the dip: Meanwhile, make the dip by whisking together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. If not using add-ins, season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. For a spicy dip: Stir through the herbs and hot sauce, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. For a briny dip: Stir through the olives, capers and herbs, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve the crackers warm or cooled to room temperature with the dip.

Cook’s Note

The crackers can be stored in a container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they get a little soft, just heat them at 400 degrees F in the oven for a few minutes until crisp.
