Ryvita Crackers 1 X £1.29
Ryvita Crackers are distinctly crispy, and have been aked with wholegrain rye and olive oil for a fuller flavour. Low in saturated fat, low in sugar and high in protein and fibre these crackers are available in four delicious flavours including Golden Rye and Green & Black Olive.
I am a great fan of Ryvita anything and chose to highlight these flatbreads and crackers with a recipe this month. In a season of great indulgences it is nice to think that you can indulge and yet be just a tiny bit healthier with it.
These both went perfectly with this hearty cheese spread. You want a nice and sturdy cracker that won't fall to bits with this spread and both of the flavours of the flat bread and the crackers did not clash at all with the flavor of the spread. In fact they went perfectly with it.
This is really a delicious cheese spread with the richness of not one but two types of cheese (or more if you buy a multi cheese blend), the fresh flavours of spring onions, moreish BACON, crunchy smoked almonds, creamy mayo and a bit of a kick from both black pepper and hot pepper sauce!
You could also spread it onto squares of toasted bread or crackers and bake them in a hot oven for a few minutes to melt. A hot nibble. Delicious.
Any way you choose to enjoy it, I think you and your guests will agree that you are in for a real taste treat! Best of all (as if simply being delicious was not enough) it is quick and easy to make!
