INGREDIENTS
| 1 1/2 | c | Pecan halves |
| 1 | lg | Egg |
| 1 | Stick unsalted butter; softened | |
| 1/2 | lb | Saga blue cheese; softened |
| 1 | c | All purpose flour |
INSTRUCTIONS
In a preheated 350 degree oven toast 1/2 cup pecans, about 7 minutes, and cool. Finely chop toasted pecans and separate egg. In a bowl with a fork cream butter and Saga until smooth. Add egg yolk, stirring until combined well. Add flour and chopped pecans and stir until mixture just forms a dough. Halve dough and on separate sheets of waxed paper form each half into a 12 by 1 1/4-inch log, using waxed paper as a guide. Freeze logs, wrapped in waxed paper, just until firm, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Cut logs crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange slices about 1/2-inch apart on baking sheets. Top each cracker with a remaining pecan half, pressing lightly into dough. Brush tops of crackers, including pecans, with lightly beaten egg white. Bake crackers in batches, if necessary, in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 12 minutes total. With a spatula transfer crackers to paper towels to blot and transfer to a rack to cool. Yield: about 90 crackers Notes: Recipe courtesy of Gourmet Magazine Recipe by: Cooking live Show #9023 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #967 by "Angele and Jon Freeman" <jfreeman@comteck.com> on Dec 19, 1997
