Rye & Rosemary Crackers

14th December 2021 · Katie Lewis

One of the best things about the festive period is all of the nibbles! Buffets, finger food, plates made up of the most random assortment of cuisines, cheese on the side of everything, I love it! At the heart or base of most of these spreads though is the humble cracker. Whether it be a vessel for dips, or a base to be topped with pate, meat, fish, pickles or spread, the simple cracker is at the core of so many delicious nibbles.

Rye & Rosemary Crackers

Usually a rather plain affair, why not improve this nibble experience by adding a little more flavour into the mix! These rye & rosemary crackers make a great addition to a cheeseboard or nibbles. Full of earthy rye & fragrant rosemary, these crisp crackers couldn’t be easier to make for yourself or whip up at the last minute & are a welcome alternative to simple cream crackers at this time of year.
