Recipe for Cheesy Jalapeño Shortbread:
A half cup of all-purpose flour is an ingredient.
half a teaspoon of salt
one egg, somewhat beaten
Eight tablespoons of diced, chilled butter
Two cups of shredded cheese, mozzarella or pepper jack
freshly minced jalapeño jalapenos, two or three
Instructions:
Combine the salt and flour in a big basin.
Combine the dry ingredients and cut in the chilled butter until crumbly.
Beat in the egg, then add the shredded cheese and minced jalapeños. Stir to combine.
Put the dough in the fridge for at least an hour after shaping it into a ball.
Turn the oven on high heat (400°F).
Separately arrange the chilled dough, shaped into 1-inch balls, on a lined or oiled baking sheet.
To make the dough balls flat, use a cup or jar.
Just until they start to look somewhat brown, bake for around 15 minutes.
