Blue cheese – pecan nuts sablée biscuits
We understand that many people will not like the idea of blue cheese in a biscuit, but give it a chance before making a judgment and you may well admit that the flavour is to your liking as it is very subtle.
This sablée is elevated to the next level and is perfect to serve with a cocktail. The specific bite of the blue cheese is perfectly balanced with the crunch of the biscuit and the flavour of the cayenne.
You can make a batch and freeze the dough. If you have unexpected visitors, you can take out the dough and bake the fresh biscuits in no time.
We served these cookies with the Pepino melon Gazpacho and found it an interesting match!
