Description

These salty shortbread with basil are a little marvel to accompany your aperitifs or your gourmet breaks. I love the simplicity of this recipe, which highlights the fresh scent of basil and the subtle taste of olives. The dough is easy to make with the Thermomix®, and baking in the oven gives crispy and golden biscuits to perfection. It is a recipe that I often make, because it is quick, economical and always appreciated by my guests. Feel free to vary the herbs according to your desires, such as chives or thyme. These shortbread are perfect for a picnic, brunch or just snacking in front of the TV. A true Mediterranean delight!
