Who needs a cheeseball when these creamy versions are a cracker’s best friend?
Chevre With Chives
There are fancier applications for Caprini Creamery’s dense and delightfully tart farmstead goat cheese. But slathering it on a bagel chip is like discovering a next-level cream cheese.
Pimento Cheese
Amelia’s adds paprika, pickled peppers, cayenne pepper, and chipotle puree to its extra-chunky version of Southern caviar with a kick.
Amazeball Spread
Beneath an almost-Everything crust of poppy and sesame seeds, this nut- and gluten-free cracker topper from Broad Ripple’s Eat Surreal holds its own as a deliciously convincing plant-based snack.
Fromage Frais
Tulip Tree Creamery makes this European-style fresh cheese that’s flecked with herbs and fluffy enough to scoop straight from the container like chip dip.
