Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
• 0.25 cup Pecans, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and crumbled blue cheese. Mix with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and cayenne pepper to the bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a soft dough.

Step 4

If desired, mix in the chopped fresh chives and finely chopped pecans for added flavor and texture.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion into a log approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 6

Once chilled, remove the dough logs from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 7

Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. They will spread slightly during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the wafers are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the wafers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the blue cheese wafers as a snack or alongside soups and salads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
