I’ve read that socca is a popular snack in the south of France, near Nice. I’ve never been to that part of France, but if the snacking is this good, I can’t wait to visit!

  5. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine, then the thyme. Set the batter aside for about 10 minutes.

    I've never had socca before but I am definitely a savory snacker 9/10 times and also my tastes run a little fancier than a bag of chips. This is EXACTLY what I would want to snack on. Salad and all! And I absolutely adore that you put thyme in there. So fragrant! Perfect with that salad topping!
