Ingredients

8 oz crumbled Blue Cheese room temperature
1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened and cubed
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
3/4 tsp Cracked black pepper plus more for tops

Instructions

Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
8 oz crumbled Blue Cheese, 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp Cracked black pepper
Dump the dough onto a flat surface and form it into a 10-inch log (about 1 1/2 inches around). Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the cheese log into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place about 1 inch apart on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle with additional cracked pepper and press into the wafers slightly.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Room temperature – Use softened butter and cheese. They will blend much more easily.
Use your fingers or the smooth bottom of a glass to press the pepper gently into the tops of the wafers before baking.
