INGREDIENTS

CHEESY CRACKERS

• 2oz = ½ stick butter, unsalted
• 4oz = 113g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3.3oz = 95g = ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper, ground
• 1 T Thyme leaves
• 0.9oz = 25g = ¼ cup Pecans, chopped
• 1 T iced water

PROCEDURE

  • Watch my Reel on my Instagram page to see the procedure.
  • Combine all the ingredients except for the water in a bowl. You can use your hand or the paddle attachment if using an electric mixer.
  • Mix until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  • Add a tablespoon of cold water and mix until the dough forms big crumbs.
  • Spray some vegetable spray on your counter and spread with your hand.
  • Place the dough on the counter and bring together by folding it over itself with the help of a bench scraper.
  • Cut the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap using the length of the plastic.
  • Press and roll to form two logs. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Know that this dough will last forever in your freezer so you can always have some to bake fresh as you need it.
  • Cut the dough in about ¼" coins and place in a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 350F for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown on the bottom but golden on the top. Let them cool completely.

These crackers are perfect on a cheese or charcuterie platter but they are also delicious as an appetizer with a sweet dip.  Enjoy!
