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.
