Slice-and-Bake Parmesan-Almond Crackers image

A crisp, savory cracker with the ease of a slice-and-bake cookie, these snacks are flavored with Parmesan, almonds, and thyme, and come together easily in the food processor. Serve them with afternoon tea for a savory option, or set them out alongside an antipasti platter of marinated olives, seasonal fruits, and a creamy spread.

Time 4h55m

Yield Makes 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine almond flour
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh juice
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme, plus tiny sprigs for decorating (optional)
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
4 tablespoons cream cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse both flours, cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lemon zest, and thyme. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add lemon juice and pulse just until dough comes together.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface. Divide into two pieces, and shape each into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap separately in plastic; refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Slice logs crosswise into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Place rounds on parchment-lined baking sheets. Top each with a tiny thyme sprig (if using) and bake until firm and golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Transfer baking sheets to wire racks and let crackers cool on pans 5 minutes, then transfer crackers to wire racks. Crackers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

These crackers are just okay. I think they're a bit bland.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get the crackers to slice cleanly. They always crumble.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crackers turned out a little too dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These crackers are a great way to use up leftover Parmesan cheese. I always have a block of Parmesan in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not a huge fan of Parmesan cheese, but I still really enjoyed these crackers. The almond flavor really shines through.
