Ingredients

• 113 grams blue cheese
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 60 grams walnuts
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons optional: cayenne pepper for spice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the blue cheese and unsalted butter until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper, mixing until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

If using cayenne pepper for a hint of spice, mix it in now.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Place the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to slice.

Step 7

Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 8

Arrange the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve the Blue Cheese Walnut Wafers at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or alongside your favorite cheese board. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
