Blue cheese-walnut shortbread

1 Pan

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅓ cup Walnuts; chopped
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Confectioners sugar
½ cup Butter; cut up
¼ cup Blue cheese; crumbled
1¼ cup All-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In the bowl of a food processor, chop together walnuts and sugars. Add butter and blue cheese and blend just a couple of seconds, until a crumbly consistency (don't let it form a ball). Add flour and pulse about 10-20 times. Pat into an 8-inch cake pan. Score with a knife into 8 to 12 wedges. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven, deepen score with a knife, and return to oven. Bake at 325 degrees F for another 15 minutes, or until done. Cool on a rack.

Serve with fresh or poached pears, with a Sauterne.
