Parmesan and Smoked Paprika Biscuits

I had these parmesan and smoked paprika biscotti bookmarked from Il Cavoletto di Bruxelles for a while, and last night finally decided it had cooled down enough to turn on the oven to 400 degrees.
















All you do is mix butter with parmesan, then flour, smoked paprika, salt, and an egg yolk. Roll up, refrigerate overnight, slice, and bake.

They taste just like a Cheez-It! I think next time I make them I'll slice them thinner, and maybe add a little more paprika, or some black pepper.

If you like cheesy crackery biscuity things, make these!

Probably a really nice thing to serve at a wine tasting

Nice combination of flavors. Seems like it would go great with some creamy scrambled eggs.

Hi Kat & Alexa - Both great ideas, I'll keep them in mind for next time!

Sounds wonderful I would love them with a salad.

Hi NP - Great idea! Maybe arugula and tomatoes with the biscuits crumbled on top...

Anything that tastes cheesy is a winner to me! They look great. Lets see if I can duplicate!

The original recipe is in Spanish and I have yet to learn it :P Would you mind posting the recipe in English? They look so good...

Zo said...

lol, sorry just realised it's italian, and with a little help from google translate I've got it now.

Vicki said...

Hey Zo -
Isn't Google translate great? Just be sure to convert degrees C to F! Thanks for visiting!

I find Cheez-Its to be weirdly addicting, so I'm sure these will mean big trouble for me. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try them! They look delicious!

Hi Sandy -
These are better than CheezIts! Make a half-batch, you won't feel so guilty :)
