Cayenne Cheese Bites!

Homemade Cayenne Cheese Bites served this afternoon at The Birdnest Inn!  Yes, they are spicy but why not?  Served with a glass of wine or with a cup of specialty Forte Tea.  Makes any afternoon so much better!
Recipe:

Grate 1 lb of sharp cheddar cheese
Soften 2 sticks of unsalted butter
Using an electric mixer, blend butter and cheese until mixture is smooth.  Add the following:
2 teaspoons salt, 1 large egg yolk, 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper.
Continue blending in the electric mixer.  When well blended, drop by teaspoons on an ungreased baking sheet---or pack mixture into a cookie press for a more festive look.  Place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.  Use the leftover egg white to make a glaze by lightly beating and adding a pinch of salt.  Brush the tops of each bite with the glaze.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

This is a recipe that I have been making and altering since 1971.
Enjoy!!
