Savory thyme shortbread

Now this is a good idea !! Savory thyme shortbread that can be eaten just like that or with a thousand  combinations !

Summer means drinks with friends or family and your favorite blog (I mean Casserole&Chocolat(e), you got that right ?) gives you the perfect alternative to crips and our famous “saucisson”. Don’t get me wrong, we just love crisps and saucisson, but the idea is to have something new, tasty, easy to cook. Isn’t it amazing news ??

Today, you’ll get the basic recipe and it’s already fanstastic : just imagine a perfectly balanced taste of sea salt and thyme. Afterwards, you’ll just have to leave your full creativity up and running ! Add olive puree, mixed grilled veggies, fresh cheese with herbs, proscuitto, smoked salmon, shall I go on ?

Of course, you can be creative with the shortbread itself and replace thyme with black oilves, rosemary or even chorizo !

You’ll see, beyond this recipe, you’ll create so many more !!

For this recipe, you’ll need a mandatory accessory : a steel cutter. I’m happy to have a full range of steel cutters from De Buyer. I strongly recommend this brand !!

Now let’s go ! In your kitchen !
