Blue Cheese-Walnut Wafers

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together flour and pepper. Using a pastry blender, cut in blue cheese and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the walnuts and egg yolks to the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir until combined. Form dough into a ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough by gently pressing for 10 to 12 strokes or until it is nearly smooth.

Step 2

Divide the dough in half. Roll out lightly pat each half into a 9-inch log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 425F. Cut each log into 1/4 inch slices. Place slices about 1 inch apart on ungreased large baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms and edges are golden. Transfer to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 4

Can be made ahead and placed in covered container and stored for up to one week in refrigerator.
