Pimiento Cheese with Butter-Crisped Saltine Crackers
This 25-minute dip makes for the "perfect party snack for watching sports games or getting the night started," says Alon Shaya, chef and owner of Saba in New Orleans and Safta in Denver.
To turn up the flavor of a simple cracker, Shaya recommends pairing it with ghee or clarified butter.
"Ghee can be cooked for longer and at a higher temperature than butter, so it will impart the same rich flavor without scorching,” Shaya says. “Using it to fry the saltines is easy to do and transports a common pantry item into a real showstopper.”
