They were super easy to make, smelled great in the oven, and were delightful with olives, pickled asparagus and green beans and martinis

I followed the recipe to the letter, except I refrigerated them for a couple of hours they were runny all over the pan..very salty didn't crisp up...wasted my money, I was trying to do for a party for my son's birthday....so sad...maybe I'll try again with less expensive cheese.

I must admit I changed this recipe a bit, I wasn't prepared for the price of the cheese so I subed Parmesan for the Pecorino. These crackers were easy and delicious. I have made the 3 times at the request of my niece! They were perfect in taste and size. Thanks for a great recipe!




A Party Hit

These were wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly and had no problems with "overly salty" taste. Maybe romano cheeses other than pecorino have more salt, so try to use pecorino if you can. I've made these in advance (night before) and, while they are still really great, right out of the oven is best. Quick, easy, and the red pepper gives them an unusual kick. Your guests will love them.




Wonderful! Everyone should make these!

Flavor was great but left a little greasy after taste. I would definitely make these again, however maybe with a bit more flour. They were really easy to whip up and we snacked on them for days! oh, and i dashed a little cayenne for spice.




PERFECT

i loved these little crackers. i added a three fouths of a cup of flour and a half cup of cornmeal and also threw in some chopped chives for a little extra flavor. the texture was a perfect balance between crumbly and crunchy and the flavor was perfect. they went well with the lobster rolls. i kept them in the oven a bit longer than 20 minutes though.




Good

Good flavor! Make sure NOT to use salted butter, but if you do - skip the salt. A bit crumbly and could have used more time in the oven.

These are so full of flavor and texture. They melt in your mouth while also being chewy. They were easy to whip up and baked nicely. I cut down on the salt after reading other reviews. Very nice and different for an appetizer. They have a nice kick too.




Give it a little love!

It turned out great! I used Romano cheese. I think that pecorino is a little strong. Other than that I thought it was wonderful.




Salty and Acrid

I followed the recipe exactly after watching the show, and these were awful. The cheese was bitter and the flavor one dimensional. I threw the batch out.




Easy but Awful

I followed Giada's segment recipe exactly; no-salt butter, cheese selection etc and these crackers were awful and overly salty. My dough was more creamy than Giada's and the texture was nice otherwise I would rate this as a 1. The cheese flavor is borderline bitter and it does not fill the house with a wonderful, baked-goods smell.




Great Flavor

I found these very simple to make. I used salted butter so only added a 1/4 tsp of salt to the mixture. They remind me of a shortbread. Their very flaky and very zesty. I love them!




okayish
