Savoury Cheese Shortbread
This is a sweet rather than savoury shortbread which is great as a snack served with cheeses and dips.
Ingredients
Serves: 24
- 125g butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar
- 2 cups (250g) plain flour
- 60g freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons dried or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Preparation:15min ›
Cook:15min ›
Ready in:30min
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C. Lightly grease 2 large baking trays.
- Beat butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cheese, rosemary and paprika; add to butter mixture. With hands, mix to form dough.
- Divide dough into three even pieces. On a lightly floured surface, slightly flatten each piece of dough and roll into a 30 cm rope - the same way you'd roll out a piece of plasticine. Slice each rope into 16 even thin slices.
- Place on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Served warmed up or at room temperature. Can be stored for several days in an airtight container.

found this very tasty but ingredients didn't make 48 pieces? - 19 Nov 2009 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
So I changed the recipe in as much as I used cayenne instead of paprika, used smoked salt and just 1/4 tsp sugar and black pepper as well. The amount made depends on how thin u roll and how big a cutter you use of course. I made 44 and scraps which are cooks treat [of course!!] great with a glass of red or for when you fancy something savoury! - 01 Apr 2012 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
