Cheddar and Rye Crisps

Homemakers Best Tested
By
Andrew Chase
These savoury bites honour the cheese-making traditions of Ontario and Quebec. For the best flavour, use three- to five-year-old Cheddar. Enjoy with a cold beer or chilled Riesling or our Berry Bucket Sangria

Ingredients

8 oz  (250 g)  diced aged Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  whole rye flour
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  large-flake rolled oats
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  paprika
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  cold butter, cubed
1 egg yolk

Preparation

In food processor, pulse together cheese, rye flour, oats, all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne until mixed. Add butter and pulse until consistency of coarse meal; pulse in yolk.

Pat dough together. Lightly knead into ball. With hands, shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls/5 mL into balls; place on parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheet. With lightly floured fork, press balls down to about 1/4-inch/5 mm thickness, making crisscross pattern on top.

Bake in centre of 350F/180C oven until edges are golden, about 18 minutes. With spatula, transfer to rack; let cool.

Makes 48 crisps.
