My sister Sylvia dreamed up this recipe for a tasty appetizer while vacationing in Florida. Clearly, her creativity knows no borders. These are great at a 'wine and cheese'.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened and creamed, plus 1 heaping Tbsp. coconut oil
- 2 tbsp very finely diced sweet onion
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp seasoned salt ( or a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper)
- 1 & 1/2 cups of self-rising flour
- 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese (or 1 cup cheddar and 1 cup Monterey Jack)
Instructions:
Mix the first 6 ingredients together well, then stir in the cheese. Form the dough into 4 logs, about 1" diameter, wrap the logs tightly in plastic wrap or waxed paper and chill them until firm. Slice each log into 12 discs and bake on parchment lined pans in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 10 minutes until they are lightly brown on the bottom.
Cool on a rack before transferring carefully to a serving plate.
