Blue Cheese and Chive Crisps
| 2 | c | blue cheese , crumbled |
| 1/2 | c | unsalted butter |
| 1 | | egg |
| 1 | | egg yolk |
| 2 | tsp | chopped fresh chives |
| | black pepper |
| 2 | c | all-purpose flour, sifted |
Step 1:The day before serving, beat together the cheese and butter until well blended. Add the egg, egg yolk, chives and a little pepper (I do maybe 7 or 8 vigorous turns of the pepper mill) and beat until just blended.
Step 2: Add the flour in three batches, folding in well between each addition.
Step 3: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log (I do this on a marble slab to not have to add flour) about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and chill overnight. Preheat the oven to 375*F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
Step 4: Cut the doughlogs across into slices about 1/8 inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes, until just golden around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool
