Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. finely grated Parmesan
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
9 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4" dice
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 large egg yolk
Additional kosher salt and Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Place the flour, cheddar cheese, 2 Tbsp. of Parmesan, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined. Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the sour cream, olive oil and egg and pulse until just blended. Turn dough out onto a work surface and shape into a disk. Wrap disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Place chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 1/8", sprinkling with more flour as necessary to keep from sticking. Using a 1 3/4" scalloped round cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible and arrange 1/2" apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll scraps and continue cutting out crackers. Top crackers with a sprinkling of salt and Parmesan. Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely and then serve.
