These crisps come in four delectable flavors; Cranberry
Almond, Sesame Almond, Lemon Poppy Almond and Coconut Orange Almond.
Here at the office, we tried the Sesame Almond. They are
thin and crunchy, and are bite-size with the perfect consistency which keeps
them from crumbling and making a mess. They can be prepared with both strong
and mild cheeses. I recommend serving them with goat cheese and preserves or
with creamy havarti. They would also be appetizing paired with fresh mozzarella,
tomato, basil and a balsamic glaze for a twist on a traditional caprice salad. Almondina
Toastees can also be paired with coffee or used as a garnish for frozen yogurt.
Almondina Toastees are a lighter version of founder Yuval
Zaliouk’s grandmother Dina’s Petit Gateau
Sec cookie recipe. These Toastees are great by themselves as a snack or
light dessert and remind me of a cross between a cracker and my own grandmother’s
Norwegian Christmas cookies.
Unlike my grandmother’s Norwegian cookies, they are a lot
healthier. Almondina Toastees boast no added fat or salt, don’t have preservatives
and are dairy free.
Almondina Toastees make a great snack or dessert alternative
to Halloween candy. I would recommend them for their versatility, easy preparation
and consumption, and most importantly, their delicious flavor.
