Time 27m

Yield 30 crackers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
  • Place all the ingredients except the paprika in a food processor.
  • Pulse the mixture in quick, short spurts until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS



Ham and Cheese Puffs image

This is my cross-cultural take on a frequently served Swedish snack. If you're making the North African mantecaos specifically for this dish, you might omit the cumin, but I think they're more interesting with it. You can also make these with standard biscuits, in which case they're pretty simple.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
5 shallots, sliced
2 cups diced cooked ham, pork, or slab bacon
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or dill leaves
Black pepper to taste
Cheese Mantecaos (page 35), cooled and sliced in half horizontally

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and add the meat; cook, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and herbs. Add to the meat mixture and cook until just heated through. Season with pepper and spoon into the Cheese Mantecaos, making little sandwiches. Serve immediately.
