Savoury Cheese & Walnut Sables for Cocktails and Parties! image

These delicious crisp and light little savoury biscuits/crackers are a firm favourite in our family, especially when served with the cheese board! They are also great served with soups, dips, & salads. I have used pecans instead of walnuts in the past with the same tasty results. You can omit the chilli or cayenne pepper if you are not keen on the spicy "kick" it gives! They are very nice at Christmas time if you cut them into star shapes & serve them as aperitif snacks, or with cocktails.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I actually really liked these sables. The walnuts add a nice crunch and the cheese flavor is subtle. I would definitely make them again.

I found these sables to be a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little bit of butter or oil to the dough. Otherwise, they were pretty good.

These sables were a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less cheese. Otherwise, they were pretty good.
