You can make these up ahead when you have time and keep them in the freezer; then you're ready with a delicious hors d'oeuvre whenever anyone drops over.
Servings: 48 wafers
1/2 Cup Butter, at room temperature
4 Ounces Cheddar Cheese, cut into pieces
1 1/2 Ounces Pepper Jack Cheese, cut into pieces
1 Ouce Parmesan Cheese, cut into pieces
1 1/2 Ounces Gruyere/swiss Cheese, cut into pieces
1 Cup Pistachio Nuts, toasted
1 Teaspoon Preserved Orange (optional)
1 Teaspoon Trader Joe's Hot Yuzu Sauce
1 Cup All-purpose Flour
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Aleppo Chili Flakes
- Preheat oven to 350° and set out baking sheets with a non-stick baking mat on top of each.
- Process butter, cheese, pistachios, preserved orange and Yuzu sauce. Add flour, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to the cheese mixture and process until blended.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide in half. Shape each half into a fairly evenly shaped log 1" in diameter. Wrap in plastic and chill 'til firm. (Freeze if going to keep more than 5 days)
- Cut the chilled dough into 1/4-in. slices (easiest to do this with the Kyocera Micro-serrated Tomato Knife) and place them about 2 in. apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden around the edges.
- Transfer to a rack to cool, then store in airtight container.
