Wonderful side or appetizer. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature |
1 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
cayenne pepper |
1 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Combine the butter and cheeses in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. Sift the flour, salt, and cayenne directly into the food processor and process until the mixture begins to form a ball.
3. Add the pecans and pulse just until the pecans are mixed.
4. The mixture will be very soft.
5. Divide the dough into three equal parts and place each on a piece of wax paper.
6. Fold the paper over the mixture and roll into logs about 1 inch (3 cm) in diameter.
7. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour.
8. Roll the chilled dough into a more regular round shape if desired.
9. Unwrap the logs immediately prior to baking and slice into rounds 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick.
10. Place 1/2 inch (1 cm) apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.
11. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
