Parmesan Sage Shortbread
It all about the cheese in the end…please buy a great Australian Parmesan for this recipe and you won’t be sorry…seriously delish…I have eaten about 8 of them just as I am writing this post. (I WILL eat the salad, I WILL eat the salad….) A great little nibble, a bit impressive if you are having guests and if you don’t have sage growing in the garden, use any herb of choice….rosemary would be fantastic, as would parsley or basil. Of course the little sprinkle of flaky salt on the top knocks them over the edge to divine, but be careful not to be too heavy handed…you just want a little surprise every now and again, not a full on mouthful of salt. You could also freeze these unbaked, wrapped in baking paper, thaw slightly before cutting and then proceed as directed, though baking time may need to be increased a tad! Enjoy...
