These cheese rounds, a little zippy from the cayenne pepper. Ingredients:
2 cups cantal cheese or 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Using a mixer beat together all the ingredients until a dough ball forms. The dough will look shaggy. Put the dough onto a clean, floured work surface and roll into a 15-inch long log that measures about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour. 2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap chilled dough and slice into very thin (1/8-inch thick) coins. Arrange the cheese rounds in a single layer slightly apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the rounds begin to brown on the edges. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. |
