Ingredients
½ cup | Rolled oats |
1 cup | Plain flour |
½ tsp | Sea salt flakes |
½ cup | Parmesan cheese, finely grated |
100 g | Butter, melted and cooled |
1 Tbsp | Cream, approximately |
250 g | Cream cheese (Main) |
1 tsp | Lemon zest |
2 tsp | Dijon mustard |
2 Tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
2 Tbsp | Flat leaf (Italian) parsley, finely chopped |
2 slices | Prosciutto, sliced into 0.5cm ribbons (Main) |
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Process the rolled oats to a powder in a food processor. Add flour and salt and process until combined.
- Add cheese and butter and pulse until just mixed. Add cream slowly and pulse until a dough forms.
- Turn out on to a floured surface and form into ball. Roll out to 0.5cm to 1cm thick and cut into circles using a 4cm round pastry cutter. Place on prepared trays, prick each biscuit with a fork three times and bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- Beat cream cheese, lemon rind, mustard, olive oil and parsley until light and fluffy. Place mixture in a piping bag. (Alternatively use two teaspoons to top biscuits.) To serve, top each biscuit with cream cheese mixture and a prosciutto ribbon.
