Categories     appetizer

Time 1h37m

Yield 30 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
8 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled (about 12 ounces with rind), at room temperature
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 extra-large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and Stilton together for 1 minute, or until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, salt and pepper and mix until it's in large crumbles, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of water and mix until combined.
  • Dump the dough onto a floured board, press it into a ball, and roll into a 12-inch long log. Brush the log completely with the egg wash. Spread the walnuts in a square on a cutting board and roll the log back and forth in the walnuts, pressing lightly, and distributing them evenly on the outside of the log. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for up to 4 days.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the log 3/8ths-inch thick with a small, sharp knife and place the crackers on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 22 minutes until very lightly browned. Rotate the pan once during baking. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 20 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ounces (1/2 cup) pecan halves
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 ounces blue cheese, such as Stilton, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Transfer the pecans to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  • Add the flour to the ground pecans, pulse briefly to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cheese and process until the dough comes together and is well combined.
  • Transfer dough to a clean work surface. Shape the dough into a 2 1/2-inch-wide log. Wrap the log with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Slice the well-chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices to a baking sheet and bake immediately, rotating the sheet halfway through cooking, until the crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. (The crackers should not get too dark around the edges.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool. The crackers may be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your crackers. Look for high-quality blue cheese, butter, and flour.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the crackers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful. Keep an eye on them in the oven, as they can burn quickly.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
  • Serve the crackers with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include blue cheese spread, honey, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese cocktail crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a simple snack on their own. If you are looking for a flavorful and unique cracker recipe, give these blue cheese cocktail crackers a try.
