Yield Makes about 84

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
1 large egg white, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/3 cup mixed black and white sesame seeds, divided
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 ounces Gruyère, finely grated (about 2 cups), divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place a sheet of phyllo on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with butter and top with a second sheet of phyllo, pressing gently to adhere. Brush with butter and top with another sheet, pressing gently again; brush with egg white. Sprinkle half of sesame seeds and half of paprika over phyllo; season with salt and pepper. Scatter half of Gruyère over top. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut phyllo into 2" squares. Bake crackers until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet 3 minutes before serving. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, egg white, sesame seeds, paprika, Gruyère, and more salt and pepper, building on another parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Crackers can be made 8 hours ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
