Yield 40-45 triangles

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup Flour all-purpose
1/2 cup Butter chilled, diced
1 cup Manchego, Sharp Cheddar or Gruyere cheese, finely grated
2oz Anchovy fillets in oil, drained and roughly chopped
1/2 cup Black olives pitted, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
Sea salt, to serve

Steps:

Place the flour, butter, cheese, anchovies, olives and cayenne pepper in a food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a firm dough. Wrap the dough loosely in clear film. Chill for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 2in wide strips, then cut across each strip in alternate directions to make triangles. Transfer to baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with sea salt. Variation: To add a little extra spice, dust the olive and anchovy bites lightly with cayenne pepper before baking.
