Savory Pizzelles-Figs-Prosciutto-Blue Cheese Board

In a recent post, Rye Parmesan Pizzelles, I made a savory pizzelle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and thyme and wanted to use these “crackers” on a charcuterie board.

The following are the items I picked:

Rye-Parmesan Pizzelles (recipe below)

Mini Naan (caramelized onion) cut into quarters

Dried Smyrna Figs (fresh comes in May???)

Dried small golden figs

Roasted and Unsalted Pistachios

Honey Fig Spread (delicious)

Maytag Blue Cheese

Brie

Prosciutto

Fresh strawberries

Fresh raspberries

Fresh dill to garnish

Rye-Parmesan Pizzelles

Adapted from Bake and Scratch

  • 1 cup AP flour (3/4 cup or less is better)
  • 1/2 cup rye flour
  • 1-1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated (I used Parmigiano-Reggiano in the first batch and Kraft Parmesan Cheese (in a shaker can) in the second batch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (I did not add in the second batch)
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2-1 tsp. dried thyme (I added)

Whisk together the two flours, cheese, sugar, baking powder, salt and red pepper (optional). Add the eggs and melted butter, whisking until combined. Sprinkle some dried thyme (or fresh if you have it) and stir well.

Preheat your pizzelle iron and lightly spray with cooking spray. Scoop 1 tsp. batter if you have 4 mini imprints and 1 tbsp. if you have 2 imprints. Close the iron and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

I did cut the recipe in half which gave me 28 mini crackers.
