I can't believe that these have only been reviewed once before. What a fantastic recipe! these savory biscotti are simply wonderful. They were a terrific partner for my soup but would be great with so many things (think spaghetti in place of all that high fat garlic bread!) or all alone. My only adjustment was to a heart healthy margarine in place of butter and skim milk. This is a true keeper!
