Parmesan Cream Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• Coarse salt, pepper, sesame or poppy seeds, minced garlic or whatever you like for sprinkling, optional
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cheese, and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/2-inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed. Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier). Score lightly with a sharp knife, pizza cutter or a pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into squares or rectangles later on. Sprinkle with salt or other topping if you like.
• Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine ingredients, and pulse until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Cut log into 1/4-inch-thick crackers, and place them an inch apart on sheets. Bake until firm, about 12 to 13 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven, and raise temperature to 500 degrees. When temperature comes up to correct heat, return sheets to oven, and bake for 3 minutes more, or until crackers are deeply golden brown all over. Let cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the flour, cheese, and pepper and mix at low speed until blended. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.) Remove the dough from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before rolling out.
• On well-floured parchment paper, roll out the dough into a rough rectangle, a little less than 1/4-inch thick. The dough will be somewhat delicate and may crack in places, but you can just push the edges together with your fingers. Carefully transfer the dough to the cookie sheet and prick evenly all over with a fork. Cut with a pizza cutter or a knife into 1 1/2-inch squares, making a grid.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven, just until the crackers turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes. As they come out of the oven, run your pizza cutter or knife again along the grid to separate the crackers (the edges will have baked together a little bit in the oven). Let cool on the pan, then gently separate the crackers with your hands. They will be slightly fragile. Cut the figs in half and serve with the crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, Parmesan, rosemary, pepper, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Add the 1/4 cup heavy cream and process until the dough forms a ball. If a ball does not form, add more heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, and process until the dough comes together.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Pat the dough out in into a flat rectangle, then lightly flour the dough and roll it out until it is a little less than 1/4-inch thick and about 12-by-8-inches in size. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, gently pressing the salt into the surface of the crackers.
• Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.

Steps:

• Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until creamy. Add the Parmesan, flour, salt, thyme and pepper and combine.
• Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and roll into a 13-inch long log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a sheet pan and bake for 22 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Use an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Combine the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl, stirring with a fork.
• Slowly add the cream while continuing to stir; mix well until the dough holds together in a ball (if the dough is still too crumbly, add another tablespoon of cream).
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and.
• roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
• Using a cookie cutter or a large drinking glass, cut the crackers into 3 inch rounds.
• Place the crackers on the cookie sheet, and prick the center of each cracker twice with the tines of a fork.
• Bake on one side for 8 minutes, turn the crackers over with a metal spatula, and bake for 6 to 8 minutes more, or until the crackers have several golden spots and are slightly colored on the edges.
• Remove and place on a rack to cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly dust with flour.
• Put flour,salt,cheese and butter in bowl of food processor;pulse until flour and butter are combined.
• Add about 1/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run a bit: continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/2 inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed.
• Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier).
• Score lightly with a pizza cutter, sharp knife or pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into square or rectangles later on.
• Sprinkle with salt or topping of choice.
• Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Cool on rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in an airtight container for a few days.

Steps:

• Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and mustard for dough in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined and resembles bread crumbs. Pour 1/2 of the cream in slowly, with the processor running, until combined. Continue adding remaining cream, a little at a time, until dough has come together in clumps and feels like a damp, but not sticky, slightly over-processed pastry dough.
• Gather dough into a ball, then roll into a log. Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 8 pieces. Lightly flour each piece as needed and feed through one of the thinnest settings of a pasta roller to make irregularly shaped, oblong crackers that are about 1/16 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 8 inches long. Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll dough out on a lightly floured countertop, and cut into any shape you wish.
• Working in batches, lay crackers on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake each batch in the preheated oven until crackers are browned at the edges, golden in the middle, and fully cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes. They will crisp as they cool.

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.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine dry ingredients. Add the butter and pulse 10 times until it looks like coarse meal. Add cheese and pulse a couple times. Turn on the motor and add the cream in a slow steady stream. The dough will form into a ball. Take the dough out and roll it into a log a couple of inches in diameter. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
• Heat oven to 325°F; slice dough into 1/8" slices; bake on cookie sheet, covered in parchment paper, for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and eat.
• Variation: Cheddar-Cayenne; increase flour to 1 cup; substitute cheddar for Parmigiano-Reggiano and 1/4 tsp cayenne for rosemary.
• Black Pepper-Lemon: increase flour to 1 cup; substitute 1 1/4 tsp cracked pepper for ground pepper and add zest of 2 lemons; substitute asiago cheese for P-R cheese and reduce cream to 3 TBS.
