1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine flour, butter, salt and red pepper in medium bowl; beat at medium speed until dough forms. Add cheese; mix until a ball forms. Shape dough into circle; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
