Fig & Blue Cheese Savories

These treats look like little thumb print cookies filled with raspberry jam, but they are actually a savory blue cheese cracker filled with fig preserves. 


Fig & Blue Cheese Savories

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp. fig preserves

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the flour, butter, blue cheese, and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
  • Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull it together. Then roll out to a 1/8-inch-thick circle with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch round cutter and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Reroll the scraps (no more than once) and cut more rounds.
  • Using the back of a rounded 1/2-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the center of each dough round.
  • Spoon about 1/4 teaspoon of the fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentation.
  • Bake until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
