Cheese Pecan Crackers
1/2 cup
softened butter
1/2 pound softened blue cheese
1 egg, separated
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup toasted pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup gluten flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup pecan meal
1 cup pecan halves
Mix flours
and pecan meal well in a medium bowl. Set aside. In
a medium bowl, cream the butter and blue cheese until
very smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg yolk and salt
and pepper to taste. Add the chopped pecans and enough
flour-mixture until the mixture forms a dough that
will gather into a ball. Roll the dough into two 12
inch logs and wrap tightly and freeze for 30 minutes.
Preheat
the oven to 375°F and heavily grease several baking
sheets.
Slice the
logs into 1/4 inch thick crackers and place 1/2 inch
apart on the baking sheets. Place a pecan half decoratively
on each slice. In a small bowl beat the egg whites
until broken. Brush the egg whites over each cracker
and pecan half. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until
golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet and let
cool on a paper towel lined wire rack.
Makes approximately
100 crackers. Trace of carbs per cracker.
