Savory Shortcrust

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain (all-purpose) flour
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Salt
  • Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 ounces butter, (4 tablespoons)
  • 1/2-ounce Parmesan, grated
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Dijon mustard
  • Gentleman's Relish (anchovy paste is an acceptable substitute)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. For the pastry, sift the flour, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper into a bowl. Rub in the butter, then add the grated cheese. Mix to a soft dough with the yolk, adding a few drops of water if necessary. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the dough thinly into a square roughly 10 by 10 inches. Spread lightly with mustard, then cover the mustard with a thin film of Gentleman's Relish. Sprinkle over the Parmesan cheese and chives. Roll up as a Swiss roll, wrap in saran wrap and chill 45 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  4. Cut the roll across in thin slices and place on a greased and lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes.
