Dive into the world of subtle flavors with these savory Parmesan and thyme madeleines. Perfect for appetizers, they will amaze your guests with their tender texture and refined taste. This easy and economical recipe allows you to prepare a delicate dish in no time. With only 20 minutes of preparation and 10 minutes of cooking, you'll get about 18 to 20 madeleines for 6 people. The secret to their perfect bump? A thermal shock between the cold batter and the hot oven. You can prepare the batter the day before and bake it at the last minute. These savory madeleines are more than just an appetizer: they perfectly accompany a soup or salad, and can also be enjoyed with a dry white wine. Their balance between the character of Parmesan and the freshness of thyme makes them a classic to adopt without moderation.
