A fun alternative to everyday chips and crackers ...............
................. also shatteringly crisp, delightfully delicious, super simple! You'll want these Sesame Seed Crisps in your recipe arsenal! Great with soups, salads, dips and spreads. Buttery, salty, crunchy. Make a double batch because they won't last long!
Sesame Seed Crisps
Ingredients:
1 baguette (8-10 ounces), whole grain or regular, preferably artisan-type, like La Brea or from a good bakery
¼ cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon beaten egg white, beat the white from one egg and measure out 1 tablespoon
fine sea salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325˚F. Combine butter, oil and sesame seeds in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds or until butter is melted (cover with a paper towel to prevent spattering). Let cool while slicing baguette.
2. With a sharp knife, slice baguette into thin slices, no more than ⅛ inch thick - baguette will be easier to slice if placed in the freezer for 15-20 minutes beforehand. Arrange slices on 2 rimmed sheet pans (line sheet pans with foil for easy clean-up.)
3. Add egg white to olive oil mixture and stir to combine. Brush baguette slices with mixture, dabbing each slice with some of the sesame seeds. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Watch carefully as they can go from golden to burned quite quickly!
Makes about 5-6 dozen crisps

Toasted sesame seeds are my favorite, I love them on a bagel but rarely eat them because they are so heavy. These little crisps look perfect.

Thanks Ginny! the egg white is what helps keep the sesame seed adhered to the cracker
Ginny says
This looks so good, I have never seen a recipe like this that uses egg whites. I bet that makes it extra good!

The Mom Chef says
I didn't sleep well last night and so probably just spent five minutes watching my city and state go round and round on that little globe to the right. Now I need some chips and avocado hummus to recover from my travels.
It all looks delicious, Chris. Of course, if it's come from your kitchen, it always does. 🙂
Kim says
I like these crisps... These looks perfect to nibble on or to eat with hummus!

Hello Chris
I made the guacamole hummus and the sesame crisps tonight. They were truly beyond delicious!
It was hard to stop. I didn't have the sesame crisp recipe so just made a mixture of butter and olive oil and basted on the baguette and poured on some sesames. They were fantastic. I had remembered freezer - yes that works and 325 degrees. Thank you so much.
