The Seattle Times






List of Ingredients



• 1/2 lb. goat cheese, at room temperature
  
• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  
• 2 Tbsp walnut oil
  
• 1-1/3 cups flour
  
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme, crushed
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 cup very finely chopped walnuts
  






Instructions



1. In a food processor, cream together the goat cheese, butter and walnut oil. Add the flour, thyme and salt, processing until a dough forms. Add the walnuts and process just to blend.
   
   
2. Divide the dough in half and roll into two 1-inch-thick cylinders. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, until very firm.
   
   
3. Cut the cylinders into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 350-degree (F) oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool before serving. Store in airtight containers.
   
   Makes 70 crackers.
