Ingredients:
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded asiago cheese
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Add pecans, beating at low speed just until blended. Shape dough into 4 (6-inch-long) logs. Wrap each log in plastic wrap; chill 8 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. Cut logs into 1/3-inch-thick rounds, and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
