Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temp
  • 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • 2 Tbsps fresh thyme leaves
  • zest of one lemon

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in food processor and pulse until dough comes together.
  • Turn out onto plastic wrap. You may need to work it with your hands a bit to get it to come together completely. When dough is uniform consistency form it into a log about 2" X 2". Log will be about 8 " long.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Refrigerate log for about 30 minutes. Slice into ¼" slices and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    To Freeze: wrap the log tightly and freeze up to 3 months. Defrost, slice and continue with next step.
  • Bake 12- 15 minutes. Check to make sure they are not getting overly brown.
  • Let cool before serving or transferring to an air tight container.
