I am a native of Florida, also known as a Florida Cracker. But this post is from another country—Italy, and another state—Tuscany.

Our first night in Tuscany we were treated to a dinner prepared at our villa by two, talented Italian chefs. They were friendly and so happy to share their culture through food with us.

We waited in the living room while they did their magic in the kitchen.

To whet our appetite we were treated to homemade crackers, courtesy of her husband who owns a local bakery. I have never thought of crackers as the main attraction, but on this night, after a long day of traveling, these crackers were outstanding.

It was the introduction to one of the best meals we’ve shared together as friends.

When we got home I wanted to find a Tuscan Cracker recipe to remember this night. Gratefully I found one that was worth trying.

These were fairly easy to make. They made a huge mess in the kitchen, but the results were worth it!

This is a photo of the inspiration for this post. Don’t they look yummy?

Here are the steps it took…

These will keep fresh for three days in a ziploc bag.

We enjoyed these crackers alone and with salad. A perfect bite of Tuscany.

We love to bring home favorite recipes that remind us of a special meal shared on vacation together.

This is sure to be a new favorite.

I have many more recipes to try duplicating from our amazing time in Italy and Switzerland. I hope you will stay tuned.

Until next time…

Ciao
