Steps:
- Soften the butter and cheddar cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and peppers.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the cheese with the butter until well mixed.
- On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until well blended.
- Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
- Form the dough into three 1-inch-diameter rolls.
- Wrap each roll in plastic wrap (and then aluminum foil if freezing) and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months until shortly before serving.
- Place 3 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- If the dough has been frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it rest for a few minutes or until it is easy to slice.
- Slice the dough into 1/4-inch slices.
- Place the slices about 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
- Use a small, angled metal spatula or pancake turner to transfer the cookies to wire racks.
- Serve immediately or at room temperature.
SAVORY SUMMER CHEESECAKE
I'm not a big dessert guy and almost always prefer another savory course instead, but if I am going to have dessert, cheesecake is one of my favorites. When you combine those two facts, it's no surprise I tried an experiment with a savory cheesecake. A nice green salad, with or without tomatoes, would be a perfect pairing for this.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan well.
- Start the filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute peppers and onions with a large pinch of salt until onions just start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- While the pepper mixture is cooling, prepare the crust: Combine crushed cracker crumbs, dried Italian herbs, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until crumbs are coated.
- Transfer the buttered crumbs into the prepared springform pan and press down into an even layer. Set aside until needed.
- Continue the filling: Combine eggs, flour, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the creme fraiche, cream cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and mix until smooth. Stir in parsley, tarragon, thyme, and cooled pepper mixture until evenly combined.
- Transfer cheese mixture into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently to settle the contents and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the lower center of the preheated oven until a skewer poked into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and carefully remove the ring.
- Cheesecake should be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator before serving, about 2 hours. Cheesecake can be served at room temperature, but it will not have the classic smooth, firm cheesecake texture, and will be more like a very light cheese quiche.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

SAVOURY CHEESE - TRADITIONAL BRITISH SANDWICH FILLER
This is a gorgeous, mellow sandwich filler I have discovered in Britain and got absolutely hooked on! It's a very savoury and cheesy filling with a lovely melt-in-the-mouth texture which makes it the ultimate comfort food. Attention - some people my find this quite smelly, but it's worth it!

Steps:
- mix the cheeses in a bowl.
- add mayonnaise to desired creamyness (don`t be too skimpy, though!).
- Add pepper and salt, finely diced spring onion and finely diced onion in quantities that suit you.
- TIPS:
- You may omit the Red Leicester and Mozzarella Cheese and use only Cheddar or similarly strong cheese.
- This tastes best if made the day before and not served straight from the fridge.
- Can be used as filler for sandwiches and baked potato (traditional), but is also gorgeous as a dip for vegetable crudities.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly shredded cheese, flavorful herbs, and spices will make a big difference.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent the cheese from melting too quickly.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Bake the cheese dollars until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
Conclusion:
Savory cheese dollars are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a variety of different fillings and toppings to choose from, you can create a cheese dollar that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give savory cheese dollars a try!
