Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 unit egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and dried rosemary.
Add the chilled diced butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. Do not overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a ball. Flatten it into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Roll the chilled dough out onto a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a small cookie cutter (about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter) to cut out circles or shapes.
Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the crisps with the beaten egg and sprinkle with optional sesame or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and lightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
