Blue Cheese Pecan Refrigerator Crackers image

Make the dough a day ahead and slice and bake the day you need them. Chic with cocktails. This should come together as a ball of douch--if you have trouble, add an egg white to the mixture in the food processor. I have had it go both ways.

Time 45m

Yield 20 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup pecan halves
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 ounces blue cheese, such as Danish blue, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F Place pecans on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Transfer pecans to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Transfer ground pecans into a small bowl; set aside.
  • Combine flour and pecans in the bowl of a food processor; pulse briefly to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese; process until dough comes together and is well combined.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Heat oven to 325°F Slice chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake immediately, rotating once, until crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Crackers may be made a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
