SAVOURY CHEESE - TRADITIONAL BRITISH SANDWICH FILLER

Steps:

• mix the cheeses in a bowl.
• add mayonnaise to desired creamyness (don`t be too skimpy, though!).
• Add pepper and salt, finely diced spring onion and finely diced onion in quantities that suit you.
• TIPS:
• You may omit the Red Leicester and Mozzarella Cheese and use only Cheddar or similarly strong cheese.
• This tastes best if made the day before and not served straight from the fridge.
• Can be used as filler for sandwiches and baked potato (traditional), but is also gorgeous as a dip for vegetable crudities.

SAVORY CHEESE DOLLARS

Steps:

• Soften the butter and cheddar cheese.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and peppers.
• In a mixing bowl, cream the cheese with the butter until well mixed.
• On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat until well blended.
• Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
• Form the dough into three 1-inch-diameter rolls.
• Wrap each roll in plastic wrap (and then aluminum foil if freezing) and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months until shortly before serving.
• Place 3 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• If the dough has been frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it rest for a few minutes or until it is easy to slice.
• Slice the dough into 1/4-inch slices.
• Place the slices about 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
• For even baking, rotate the cookie sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
• Use a small, angled metal spatula or pancake turner to transfer the cookies to wire racks.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.
