Savory Biscuits with Olives and Capers are delightful snacks perfect for appetizers, antipasti, and happy hour. They pair well with creamy cheeses, mousses, cold cuts, and other savory spreads.
They are very fragrant and flavorful and can be enjoyed on their own… one leads to another, and they quickly disappear!
They are perfect for whetting the appetite at lunch or dinner, even when relaxing in front of the TV or listening to music.
I shaped them square like classic biscuits, but you can make them in different shapes; why not even like a little tree for Christmas appetizers or New Year’s Eve dinner.
If you love savory treats, read the recipe and try them yourself; they are very easy!

Preparation for Savory Biscuits with Olives and Capers
Start by pitting the olives; once the pit is removed, they weigh about 2 oz. Then, rinse the capers well if they are salted.
Take an electric chopper, add the pitted olives, capers, and a tablespoon of oil, and blend everything well until it becomes a coarse creamy mixture.In a bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, egg, Grana cheese, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of yeast. Mix the ingredients, add the blended mixture, and quickly work the dough.
The dough should be soft but dry; dust with flour and let it rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes.Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a rectangular sheet and use a cookie cutter to shape the biscuits, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush them with oil, score them with a fork, and place a piece of olive or a caper in the center.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, until golden.
Remove the biscuits from the oven, let them cool, and then serve for your occasions.
Storage and Variations
The biscuits can also be prepared with black olives or blended sun-dried tomatoes, it’s up to you and your taste.
They can be stored but lose some of their crispiness, store them in a well-sealed box for a few days.
