Savory Alpine-Style Cheese Crackers

Prep time: 30 Minutes

Cook time: 15 Minutes

Serve count: Makes about 2 and a half crackers

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

8 ounces Roth Grand Cru® cheese, shredded (2 cups)

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cubed and softened

2 to 3 tablespoons ice water

Method

 

 

  1. Place the flour, rosemary, salt and pepper into a food processor; cover and pulse until blended. Add Grand Cru® and butter; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until dough just holds together when pinched.
  2. Divide dough in half. Shape into two disks; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat oven to 375°F.
  4. Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thick. Cut with a floured star-shaped cookie cutter. Place stars 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate on baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely. Repeat steps with remaining dough. Store crackers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
