Watercress & Parmesan Savoury Biscotti
Makes 1 loaf, 8 slices
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Ingredients:
150g self raising flour
1 tsp oregano
1tsp sage
60g watercress, stalks removed and leaves chopped
1 tbsp sugar
40g Parmesan, grated
60ml Olive Oil
1 Egg
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180° and grease-proof line a baking tray. Mix together the flour, oregano, watercress, sugar and 30g of the parmesan
Whisk together the oil and egg, then add to the bowl. Mix everything into a soft dough. Pop the dough on the baking tray and form into a loose loaf, sprinkle with the leftover cheese and bake it for about 20mins
Take it from the oven and allow to cool until you can touch it. Turn the oven down to 170. Slice the loaf very carefully into finger widths – the dough is quite crumbly!– and then bake again for about 20mins.
Remove and cool until hard. Perfect for serving on a Christmas Eve cheese board!
