I know a while back I saw a thread about this, but I can't find it.

I am taking this tonight for our monthly cluster meeting, and I wanted to take some crackers instead of the french bread to serve with the Cheese Torta.

Any recommendations on some good crackers to go with this??
 
Any hearty cracker will do--not something dainty that will crack or crumble easily. Triscuits would work.
 
I used the olive oil and herb (or something like that) triscuits. They were super yummy with it!
 
Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits...that was probably me that posted that since I do ALL the time! ;)Second choice is the cracked pepper ones but they are sometimes two peppery...

I can never remember because they aren't round like regular Ritz.

Everyone LOVED the Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits with the torta!

I didn't like the torta, but I am not much of a cheese person either :)
