MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Fried Saltines w/Cheddar & Onion Categories: Five, Chhese, Breads, Vegetables Yield: 37 servings 1 lb Cheddar 1 sm White onion 4 c Canola oil 1 Sleeve saltine crackers Yellow or brown mustard; to - serve Slice the Cheddar in neat tablets slightly smaller than the saltines. Slice the onion into thin crescent moons (not half-moons), cutting from root to shoot ends so the ribs fall apart more easily, are shorter and, therefore, more manageable to chew and swallow. Heat the oil in a deep-sided saute pan over medium-high to 350°F/175°C. Stick a wooden chopstick in the oil to see if it sizzles. If it does, it's ready. Fry the saltines in 3 quick batches, adjusting the heat as needed, using a spider or a slotted spoon to swirl them around a little and to make sure they cook evenly to golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack until cool. They keep for a week in an airtight container. Set the crackers, cheese and onion on a platter to serve with mustard in a ramekin.
