Prosciutto Cheese Straws
By Kristin
Make 16, 3-inch Cheese Straws
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sharp white Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup flour
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1-1/2 tablespoons milk
1 cup prosciutto, chopped
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine shredded cheese, flour, butter, salt and Italian seasoning in a large food processor, then process until mixture is the consistency of coarse sand. Add milk then process until mixture comes together in a ball.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then flour a rolling pin and roll dough out into a long rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle the chopped prosciutto on top then gently press into the dough.
Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 1/3-inch wide by 3-inch long strips. Twist each strip then lay onto the prepared baking sheet at least 1/2-inch apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
