Parmesan and black Olives savory Shortbread Biscuits

Hello, hello!

As an official fan of “l’apéro” as we say in French (you know this time when you gather with friends or family, and have good drinks and appetizers 😉 ), I will give you today a very easy recipe, a simple recipe, a highly appreciated recipe…

Let’s make parmesan and black olives savory shortbread biscuits.

This recipe is the one you’re going to make when you just have a few minutes ahead of you, that you can freeze very easily when the pastry isn’t already cooked and that you will enjoy just like this or with something good to spread on!! 😉

For the spreading part, you already have quite the choice here on the blog! A good tapenade, which will remind the olive of the shortbread biscuits, a guacamole, tuna rillettes, a red pepper cream or cream cheese. This list isn’t complete as it is and if you have good ideas to share, please write them down in the comment section of this article. 🙂

You are going to make the pastry, then leave it to rest in your fridge (cold is really key for a good pastry), then you will spread it (very cold again otherwise it will crumble a bit), you will shape your biscuits with a cutter and you will cook them. That’s what I call an easy recipe!

I made this recipe based on the thyme shortbread biscuits that I make all the time (I always have raw thyme shortbread pastry in my freezer, ready to be cooked!!), I made a few adjustments and voilà!!

This pastry can also be the one used for a savory veggie summer tart for example! A nice change to the usual savory shortcrust pastry …

The utensils:

A food processor,

A rolling pin

And a cutter (here the range of fluted round pastry cutters by De Buyer).

Shall we now?
