Savoury biscotti are a twist on the traditional sweet biscotti, which are often served with coffee or tea as a dessert. These savoury biscotti are made with cheese, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, giving them a nutty and slightly salty flavour. Unlike sweet biscotti, they are not overly sweet and can be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. Their crunchy texture makes them perfect for dipping in soup or hummus, while the cheese and herbs make them a great addition to a charcuterie or cheese plate.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3.Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne, black pepper, and rosemary.
5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
6.Mix in the grated cheese, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.
7.Form the dough into two logs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8.Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the logs are firm to the touch and lightly browned.
9.Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes.
10.Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
11.Using a sharp knife, slice the logs into 1/2 inch thick pieces.
12.Place the slices back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the biscotti are crisp and golden brown.
13.Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
