Not every sourdough discard cracker needs to shout — sometimes it just needs a little French countryside energy. This version came out of a week when I had two things on hand: a jar of discard I needed to use and a nearly-empty tin of Herbs de Provence I didn’t want to waste. Turns out that’s a pretty magical combination. The lavender and thyme notes come through just enough to make these feel a little more elevated than your average snack, without any extra effort on your part.

They’re the crackers I reach for when I want something that looks like I tried harder than I did — perfect next to a soft cheese, a glass of wine, or just eaten straight off the pan while it’s still warm. If the Everything Bagel version is your weekday snack, consider this one your Friday night cheese board.
