Don't let the delicate look of these hors d'oeuvres fool you. A touch of cayenne gives them a hint of heat that makes them a tasty accompaniment to a pre-dinner cocktail-or even a cold beer.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar (1 1/2 cups)
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
Rounded 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  • Pulse cheese, flour, butter, salt, and cayenne in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and pulse until dough forms a ball.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12- by 10-inch rectangle (1/8 inch thick). Cut dough with a lightly floured pizza wheel or lightly floured sharp knife into 1/3-inch-wide strips. Carefully transfer to 2 ungreased baking sheets, arranging strips 1/4 inch apart. (If strips tear, pinch back together.)
  • Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets on racks, about 15 minutes.
  • What to drink:
  • Haggipavlu Nemea '04

These cheese straws were a little too greasy for my taste.

I love that these cheese straws can be made ahead of time. I usually make a batch on the weekend and then I have them on hand for snacks or appetizers during the week.

These cheese straws are a great way to use up leftover cheese. I always have a block of cheddar in my fridge, so I can make these whenever I want.
