Keep a close eye on the onion because it tends to burn rather quickly. You want it to be a nice golden brown. Cool, then place in a small bowl. Add next 4 topping ingredients and stir together. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. In a large bowl combine cheese, flour, butter and cayenne pepper. Using a pastry cutter mix together ingredients until they resemble coarse crumbs. Add the half and half and mix until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into 2 workable batches. Roll out to 1\/4 inch thickness on a floured surface and cut. (I used a 1 1\/2 inch fluted square cookie cutter) Place on prepared sheet about 1 inch apart. Whisk together egg and water. Brush tops of crackers with egg mixture and sprinkle with everything topping mixture. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spicy Everything Bagel Cheddar Cheese Crackers &nbsp; 1 10 oz. block sharp cheddar cheese shredded 1 1\/2 C. all-purpose flour 1\/2 C. butter one stick, cut into small cubes 1\/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 3 T. half and half 1 egg 2 tsp. water Everything Topping: 2 T. dried chopped onion toasted 1 T. pretzel salt or coarse salt 1 T. black sesame seed I got mine at Williams-Sonoma 1 T. sesame seeds regular 1 T. poppy seeds &nbsp; Place the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=38836\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,226],"tags":[160],"class_list":["post-38836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-appetizers-snacks","category-baked-goods","tag-diy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38836"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38836\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38838,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38836\/revisions\/38838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
