Time 1h13m

Yield 36 shortbreads

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pecans, toasted
4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons-sized pieces
1 lb extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaf (or 1 t. dried)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
kosher salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Add the pecans to the bowl of a food processor; process until finely chopped but not pasty.
  • Add the bacon, butter, cheddar, flour, rosemary, and cayenne to the nuts and process until the mixture forms a dough.
  • Remove the cracker dough from the bowl and divide it in half.
  • Roll each half into a log about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°.

  • Bake until pale golden and crisp, 10-13 minutes.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then remove with a spatula to a rack.
  • Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
