I have this strange affection for RITZ® Crackers. Bear with me… After I graduated college I did the “Tour of Europe” with a group of friends. From England to France to Italy we traveled by bus along with a group of strangers from all over the world. Since this was my first time in Europe, I was soaking it all in (meaning… I was eating my way through foreign country after foreign country). One evening after partaking in a 10 course fish meal in Burano, Italy I found myself up at 3am praying to the porcelain God. Dear God please let me die now! I literally thought I would keel over and die any moment and my friends were in a panic over what to do with me. We were in a chalet in the Italian Alps where no one spoke English and we were probably 60 miles from a hospital. After waking up the hotel manager, they checked the hotel register and noticed there was a doctor staying overnight. They rang his room and luckily he showed up at our door with a black bag and everything. Turned out he was a pediatrician from San Francisco (SCORE!), took one look at me (pretty sure I was green by then), and pronounced that I had food poisoning.

The problem was that we were due to board another bus in the morning and head to Austria. How was I supposed to sit on a bus for an entire day… a bus without a bathroom? My friends came to the rescue again by finding a box of RITZ® Crackers. Yep… RITZ® Crackers were found somewhere in the Italian Alps and those crackers got me through the entire next day. It was all I could physically keep down… and no cracker has EVER tasted so good.

That’s probably why I am excited about the RITZ® Snackify Challenge. I’ve been checking out all the amazing entries they have gotten and when I thought about what I would make, I didn’t have to think for long. I knew exactly what I would make and my first stop was at Walmart to pick up my most important ingredient.

You kind of can’t miss the RITZ® when you walk down the cracker aisle. What did surprise me, however, was how many different flavors they now come in. I’m partial to the original flavor, but the kids had their own favorites.

Luckily, Walmart was holding a RITZ® demo and I got to have a little snack while I was shopping.

I didn’t have to think too hard about what I would make because every time I hear the word “cracker” I jump to my all-time favorite movie… SABRINA. Who doesn’t love Audrey Hepburn? So… her character, Sabrina, is the chauffer’s daughter on a huge Long Island estate that is the home to two brothers… David (played by William Holden), who Sabrina is madly in love with… and Linus (played by Humphrey Bogard), who is the older brother and pretty stodgy. The gist of the movie is that Sabrina starts out loving David, but by the end of the movie she falls in love with Linus. Meanwhile, Sabrina is sent off to Paris to learn how to be a cook. Now anyone who knows anything about French cuisine knows how difficult it is to make the perfect souffle. Although Sabrina fails miserably at it while in cooking school… she seems to have figured out the secret by the time she meets back up with Linus in his office.

In the tiny office kitchen, Sabrina whipped up a souffle with nothing but a few crackers and eggs. Every time I think of grabbing something from the pantry, it usually includes crackers and eggs.

For this recipe, I needed a few more ingredients, but chances are pretty good you’ll already have everything you need in your fridge and pantry. This particular recipe was originally from Epicurious and I changed it up to make small, individual souffles with RITZ® Crackers.

Ingredients:

RITZ® Crackers (any variety you like, I used the original flavor) 1 cup whole milk or half & half 4 egg y0lks 5 egg whites 2 1/2 tbs butter 3 tbs flour 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp salt pinch of nutmeg 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

I used a muffin tin for my individual souffles. Grease them very well and coat the bottom with some parmesan cheese (adds immense flavor).

(1) In one saucepan you will heat the milk until hot but not boiling. (2) In another saucepan, melt the butter. (3) When the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and pour the heated milk into the flour mixture and whisk very well. Add in the salt, nutmeg and paprika. Add each egg yolk one at a time and whisk after each one. (4) Transfer to another bowl and let sit until it reaches room temperature.

Meanwhile, use an electric mixer to blend your egg whites. Fold mixture into the cooled flour mixture alternatively with the Gruyere cheese.

Pour mixture into muffin tins. Now this is where making a souffle becomes difficult. You do NOT want to mess around with the oven, but with mini souffles you need to be careful that you are cooking them exactly right. A large souffle will take longer, but mini ones should only take about 10 minutes to cook. Every oven is slightly different so you might have to experiment with yours. You want to cook the souffles until they are slightly browned.

Let cool a bit (but not too much) and then carefully use a fork to take the souffle out of the muffin tin. Lay on top of a RITZ® cracker and you have yourself a gourmet meal or snack. These would be great for a party, but I served mine to my family for dinner along with a caesar salad and it made for a fabulous meal.
