Cheese Biscuits (Sablés au fromage)
Report
Mini cheesy biscuits made with French cheese, so light and crispy to serve with pre-dinner drinks or apéritif. Although best made with Emmental or Comté, they're just as excellent with cheddar, aged Mimolette or Parmesan. Add your favourite fresh herbs and or seeds to vary the taste.

Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl - either using an electric mixer or by hand until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Split the dough into 3 and, on an ovenproof silicone mat, roll each out evenly into a cylinder shape with both your hands (or mould with fingers to a rectangle) to about 3-4 cm (at least an inch) diameter. Roll each into cling film to make them smooth. Although optional, chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/375°F/Gas 5. Slice each cylinder into thin rounds (about 1cm/½ inch thick), arrange on the silicone mat (or parchment) on a baking tray. Bake for about 15 minutes - or more if you like them more crispy.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes and serve.
Notes
- Variations: Use your favourite herbs and seeds - delicious with cumin seeds and a few turns of the peppermill.
