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.

I'm definitely going to be making these crackers again. They're so easy to make and they're always a hit with my friends and family.

These crackers are a great way to use up leftover blue cheese. I always have a little bit left over after making a salad or dip, and these crackers are the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I actually really liked these crackers. The pecans add a nice sweetness that balances out the blue cheese.

These crackers are not as cheesy as I thought they would be.

I found the dough to be a little too dry. I had to add a little extra water to get it to come together.

These crackers are a little too salty for my taste.

I love that these crackers can be made ahead of time. I usually make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for snacks or parties throughout the week.

These crackers are so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my food processor and pulsed until they were combined.
