Ingredients
These are the perfect little morsels to enjoy when making a toast this holiday season.
- ½ cup (125 mL) salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (175 mL) shredded extra old white cheddar cheese
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh basil
- 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
Preparation
In a large bowl, using electric hand mixer; beat butter until almost white in colour. Beat in cheese, garlic, basil and rosemary until smooth. Stir in flour until ragged dough starts to form.
Using hands, knead dough to come together. Roll into a 9-inch (22.5 cm) log and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Make-ahead: Log can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
Slice log into ¼ inch (5 mm) rounds and place onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated 350 F (180 C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden. Let cool.
RECIPE TIP
If fresh herbs are not available substitute 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried basil and rosemary leaves.
