These are delicious crackers that are quite
rich. Their texture is flaky and similar to shortbread.
Peppered Goat Cheese
Crackers
- 10 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons very coarsely ground fresh pepper
- In a food processor or electric mixer
beat the goat cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the
flour and salt and beat until well blended. Divide the dough
in half, and place each half on a piece of plastic wrap about
18-inches long Gently roll the dough back and forth, using the
countertop as a base, to crate two 12-inch logs. Carefully unwrap
the dough and sprinkle the pepper over the logs. Wrap each log
in plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to
325°F (160°C). Take one log out of the refrigerator,
and using a serrated knife, cut it into 1/2-inch thick slices.
On an ungreased baking sheet place the slices cut side down,
1-inch apart. Repeat with the second log and another baking sheet.
(Or if using only one baking sheet, keep the second log in the
refrigerator until you're ready to bake it.)
- Bake for 30 minutes. Turn and continue
baking until the crackers are a rich golden color, 15 to 20 minutes
more. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
They can be stored in an airtight container for about a week
or in the freezer for up to six months.
Makes 4 dozen.
