Delicious flavors come into play in this Sun-Dried Tomato and Herb Biscotti making this a great pairing for soups or to munch on its own!
This will be the second month that I have participated in the Leftover’s Club! What is that you may ask? It’s where a group of bloggers get together and create some delicious treats and ship them to one another!
Last month our theme was salt and I received some amazing cookies that I still get cravings for today! This month we went with savory and teamed up with my friend Michele over at Always Bakin’ and I couldn’t wait to get creating.
When you think of biscotti you usually think of sweet cookies that are dessert in nature or served with coffee or cocoa. Well my friends, did you know that there is a whole nother side to biscotti?
If you haven’t tried a savory version, let me tell you, they are amazing. A whole new flavor profile hits you. It’s like a cookie and a cracker or crouton all combined into one big piece. These Sun-Dried Tomato and Herb versions are a cut above any that I have tried.
I know that people usually associate biscotti as something that is upscale and hard. Well it really is easy to make and the batter whips up in no time and all you need to do in preparation if it is cook, cut and cook. What could be more easy than that? I would presume not a whole lot.
This biscotti goes amazing with a nice soup for those chilly days, or along side a salad at a fun picnic. They are so versatile that who wouldn’t want to add them as a great side to any meal?

You don’t indicate when the sundried tomatoes are added to the dough, before or after the flour?
Tornadough Alli
Hi Janis, thanks for pointing that out to me! I’ll edit it to state that the tomatoes are added after you mix your dry and wet ingredients together, so essentially fold them in last before shaping.

That sounds like such a fun club! I have 1/2 a jar of sundried tomatoes I’ve been wanting to use up and this would be so perfect!
