These are delicious with a glass of wine and pair up well with sliced pears, apples and cheeses. A lovely appetizer or nibble to serve with cocktails that won't overstuff your guests. Ingredients:
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup of grated asiago cheese |
1/2 cup of grated extra sharp white cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup of cold butter |
3/4 cup of all purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon of dried sage |
1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard |
1/2 teaspoon of coarse ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Toast the walnuts in a 350 degree oven for five minutes until golden brown but not burnt! Cool completely.
2. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
3. Using a metal blade in the food processor, combine the cheese and the butter. Process until crumbly. Add the flour, cooled toasted walnuts and all the remaining ingredients. Pulse again until a dough just barely forms.
4. Divide dough in four parts. On a lightly floured surface pat into a disc. Roll into a five inch round. Cut each round into 6 wedges.
5. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 minutes until lightly golden brown on the edges. Remove to wire rack and cool completely.
7. Store in air tight tins.
