Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 cup Pecans, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Grate the cheddar cheese and allow it to come to room temperature to soften slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, and ground cayenne pepper.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together using a pastry cutter or your hands until the dough comes together. The mixture should be cohesive but slightly crumbly.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6

Form the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake the cheese bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the tray from the oven and allow the bites to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm bites with honey for a touch of sweetness. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt if desired for a complementary savory finish.

Step 10

Serve the honey pecan cheddar bites warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
