Ingredients

• Oyster Crackers – 1 (12 oz) box

• Butter, melted – ¾ cup

• Everything Bagel Seasoning – ½ cup (store-bought or homemade)

• Parmesan Cheese, grated – ⅓ cup

How to Make Them

1. Preheat – Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Coating – In a large bowl, stir together melted butter, everything bagel seasoning, and Parmesan until well blended.

3. Toss the Crackers – Add the oyster crackers and gently fold until every piece is coated.

4. Bake – Spread evenly on the baking sheet. Bake 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crisp.

5. Cool & Enjoy – Let cool completely before serving or storing.

Tips for the Best Results

• Watch the Oven – Parmesan and butter can burn quickly in the last 5 minutes.

• Make Ahead – Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
