Best Cheesy Stars Recipes
CHEESE STARS
This is a very popular crunchy snack in my house - a batch will disappear within ten minutes! I often make a variety of shapes (stars, hearts, sticks - good for dipping). Feel free to add any spices you like to the mixture - it only gets better with experimentation! I've even sauted some chopped garlic and added it to the mixture with the spice - especially good with rosemary added.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 200C, or 180C fan assisted. Grease and flour two large baking trays.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, herbs and spices. Crumble in the stock cube and stir well until evenly distributed.
- 3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- 4. Stir in the cheese until well distributed (I find using two forks to pull apart the clumps of grated cheese is a good method).
- 5. Mix in the egg yolk with your fingers, working the mixture to a dense dough. You may need to add a splash or two of water to achieve the correct consistency - the mixture should not be sticky, but should not leave crumbs in the bowl.
- 6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of around 5mm - this isn't too vital, but will affect cooking times.
- 7. With a star-shaped cutter, stamp out as many shapes as you can from the dough and place, slightly spaced, on the baking sheets. Re-roll the dough and repeat until you have too little left to work with.
- 8. Brush each star with a little egg white and bake in the preheated oven for around ten minutes until golden.
- 9. Remove and cool on wire trays.

SAUSAGE WONTON STARS
These fancy-looking appetizers are ideal when entertaining large groups. The cute crunchy cups are stuffed with a cheesy pork sausage filling that kids of all ages enjoy. We keep a few in the freezer so we can easily reheat them for late-night snacking. -Mary Thomas North Lewisburg, Ohio
