Ingredients
  1. 100 g of leftover cooked protein, cubed (think sausage or merguez, nice and spicy chorizo, or even bacon bits that you will fry up ahead of time)
  2. 80 g hard cheese, rind removed and cubed (Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, French Comté, whatever you can lay your hands on)
  3. 1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves only (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  4. 200 g self-raising flour – or – 200 g plain flour plus 1 tsp baking powder)
  5. 100 g butter
  6. 2 eggs
  7. ¼ tsp salt
  8. several turns of freshly ground black pepper
You will also need
  1. two baking sheets lined with baking paper or silicone sheets
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180 ° C. Add first 3 ingredients (cubes of protein and cheese and the rosemary leaves) to your Thermomix bowl and chop 15 seconds/Speed 5.
  2. Add flour and baking powder if using, butter, eggs, salt and pepper and mix 15 seconds/Speed 5.
  3. With wet hands, make little balls of dough and place them on two baking sheets covered in baking paper or a silicone sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, leaving cute little marks. Alternatively, do as I did and drop dough by spoonfuls onto your trays and let nature take its course 😉
  4. Bake 20 minutes at 180° C or until your savoury cookies are golden. Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before serving.
  5. Enjoy warm or cool with a glass of white or red wine or with your favourite cocktail or apéritif.
Notes
  1. Yields 24 to 30 cookies (can be divided in half to make just 12 to 15 cookies)
