Crispy, rosemary, salty and cheesy cracker. Very addictive!
This is the Secret Recipe Club “assignment!” Every month you get a name of a blog and you need to choose ANY recipe from that blog and then blog about that recipe by a date. It’s a secret because the blog owner does not know you are doing this until the reveal date. My secret blog this month was Baking and Boys, which is Katrina. Katrina has an amazing baking blog with tons of decadent recipes and lots of very cute pictures of her four boys. When I was looking at Katrina’s blog I had a hard time deciding what to make but have been wanting to make crackers for a long time and when I came across her Thyme and Cheese Cracker I knew that was my recipe.
Instead of thyme I made these to rosemary. You have to love rosemary and salt combination to like this recipe, which I love. The original recipe called for ¼ tsp of thyme/rosemary and to me that is way too little and I added 2 tbsp of fresh rosemary which was just perfect. Also the recipe below has sugar in it and next time I would just omit it, since it doesn’t add anything to the cracker.
These go perfectly just as a snack or with soup. We had them with split pea soup and it was a huge hit – all the crackers went.
Rosemary and Parmesan Crackers
Adapted From: Baking and Boys
Yields: 40 (2” crackers) | Prep Time: 60 minuste | Bake Time: 35 minutes
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 6 tbsp all purpose flour
¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
2 tbsp fresh rosemary finely cut
1 tsp sea salt (1/2 tsp in dough and ½ tsp for sprinkle)
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1 tbsp Olive oilBeat the butter and lemon zest with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Slowly beat in the egg yolk and cream.
In a food processor add the cheese and fresh rosemary to make it fine.
Then in a separate bowl whisk the flour, cheese, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, rosemary and nutmeg together in a bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture while mixing slowly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then beat on medium speed until combined and dough is sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the dough onto a wax or parchment paper lined baking sheet dusted with a little flour to about 1/8-1/4 inch thickness. Freeze the dough for about 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the dough into desired shapes. Brush the crackers with olive oil using a baking brush and then sprinkle the rest of the sale onto the crackers.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let sit on baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container for up to 1 month.

June 13, 2011 at 6:11 amNever thought of adding rosemary to crackes. Sounds like a great idea though. The combination will make a great taste.
Have a great week ahead.

June 14, 2011 at 12:56 pmThis is my first month in The Secret Recipe Club and it’s so much fun! I’m just loving all the new blogs and recipes I’m seeing. I’ve never made crackers and never knew that they could be so easy, I’ll have to give these a try.

June 14, 2011 at 5:16 pmI’ve been meaning to try making homemade crackers – I have a feeling I’d devour all of these!
Lisa @ The Gonzo Gourmet says
June 15, 2011 at 6:10 amThese look delicious – and very doable! I’m always looking for recipes to try with my 5 year old. We have rosemary growing in our yard, I love that we could just step outside for one of the ingredients…I’ve been trying to teach her that food doesn’t always come from Trader Joe’s!

sarah, simply cooked says
June 18, 2011 at 10:32 pmThis sounds delicious–I imagine the recipe was much improved by adding more herbs.
Magic of Spice says
June 20, 2011 at 9:39 amI love the flavors here… homemade crackers have been something I have wanted to try but have not as of yet. These look wonderful 🙂
Eliana says
June 24, 2011 at 7:58 amI recently made a cheesy craker a home for the first time and what a treat it turned out to be. Way better than anything store-bought. This recipe looks like one I should try as well since I’m a huge fan of rosemary.
Dan says
July 4, 2011 at 3:39 pmThose look awesome. I think a friend of mine make something very similar before. The photo triggered a taste memory.
Borislava @ Sharemykitchen says
July 5, 2011 at 10:18 amWow! I love how your crackers look! I have bookmarked a similar Italian recipe few moths ago (never tried it, though), but after seen yours …:) The dough is already in the freezer 🙂 Thanks
