Pickled Papaya Cheese Crackers

A sweet-tangy-salty bite that takes 5 minutes but tastes like you tried.

Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as a snack)

• 1 sleeve Ritz Crackers
• 1 cup The Sun and Spoon Pickled Papaya, drained slightly
• 6–8 slices sharp cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese (see swaps below)
• Optional: freshly cracked black pepper, chili flakes, drizzle of hot honey

Favorite Cheese Options (Pick Your Vibe)

Classic & Comfort:

• Sharp cheddar
• Colby Jack

Bougie Board Energy:

• Aged white cheddar
• Havarti
• Smoked gouda

Creamy & Dreamy:

• Brie (rind removed for kids)
• Cream cheese (spread version)

How to Make It (5 Minutes)

1. Slice cheese into small squares slightly smaller than the Ritz.
2. Layer cheese on each cracker.
3. Top with Pickled Papaya (about 1 tablespoon per cracker).
4. Add optional cracked pepper or chili flakes if you want a little heat.
5. Serve immediately — or chill 10 minutes for extra crisp.

Pro Tips

• Pat the papaya slightly with paper towel if you want zero sogginess.
• For kids: chop papaya finer so it sits better on the cracker.
• Want it warm? Broil cheese on crackers for 1–2 minutes first, then add papaya after.
