Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add 8 tablespoons of butter and oil and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add 1/2 cup cold water and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Dust a piece of parchment with flour. Turn the dough out onto the parchment and roll into an 1/8-inch-thick round. Use the top of a 9-inch fluted tart pan to stamp out a circle. Transfer the parchment and circle to a baking sheet. Dust another piece of parchment with flour, gather the dough scraps, roll and stamp out as before. Transfer the parchment and dough to another baking sheet.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30 second intervals. Brush each piece of dough with butter. Use the flat end of a 12-inch skewer to poke holes all over each round. Sprinkle each with salt. Bake for 10 minutes and then brush the dough with egg white. Continue to bake until the crackers are crisp and the edges begin to turn golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on the baking sheet, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the Cheddar, cream cheese, Parmesan, paprika and cayenne to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted, smooth and orange, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let cool at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Place one cracker onto a serving platter. Spread the cheese sauce over top of the cracker (the cheese should be about 3/4-inch-thick). Top with the second cracker and smooth the edges of the cheese with your finger or an offset spatula. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Slice and serve cold with carrot sticks and celery.

- Cheese: What to Grab: If you’re arranging a last-minute plate on top of making fewer trips to the grocery store due to Covid-19, your cheese selection may be on the miniscule side.
- Meat: What to Grab: Charcuterie is a cheese plate go-to thanks to its salty and fatty flavor notes, but if you’re lacking in this department, don’t fret.
- Produce: What to Grab: Grab two different types of produce—this will add color and a delicious flavor combination to your cheeses. “I love using olives, dried fruits, fresh berries, and a neutral vegetable,” Mullen says.
- Crunch: What to Grab: “I typically use flatbread crackers and nuts for this step. Get creative and throw in some chips and pretzels from the pantry.” Mullen recommends serving a cracker plate on the side of your main cheese plate for easy refills.
- Dip: What to Grab: A ramekin or small bowl, plus something delicious and dip-able, like jam, relish, chutney. A dip will provide visual interest and a sweet, spicy, or savory bite, depending on what you have on hand and the flavor profile you’re looking for.
