Crackers
3-1/2
tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg white
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
Make a cardboard template stencil approximately 4-inches by
2-inches.
In a small bowl whisk flour, sugar, salt and butter to a smooth
consistency. Incorporate egg white whisking until well
blended and resembles cake batter.
Place the cardboard template on a Silpat silicone baking mat or
parchment paper on a baking sheet. With an offset spatula spread the batter smoothly over
the template. Be sure to make them thick,
do not make them paper thin, they are very fragile and break
easily. Remove the template, sprinkle with black sesame
seeds and bake at 400° for 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly
browned and bubbly. Remove from oven to cool. Can be made ahead of time, keep
at room temperature.
Herbed Mousse
4 ounces
goat cheese
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried Thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix ingredients together, put on a flat plate and shape into a
3-1/2" long x 1-1/2" wide x 1/2" thick rectangle
(slightly smaller than the cracker). Cover and place in
refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to firm up. Can be made in advance.
Use a wide spatula to transfer
onto a
baked tuille cracker. Add another cracker to enclose like
a 'sandwich'. Place upright on it's side on a serving plate
and serve with mesclun salad greens tossed with an outstanding
Lemon Vinaigrette.
