Savory rolls with Niva, a Czech blue cheese, and heavy whipping cream are crisp pastries made from buttery dough with a bold cheese flavor. Combine flour, baking powder, butter, and grated cheese into a crumbly mixture, then bring it together with an egg yolk and cream to form a smooth dough. After resting for an hour, roll it out to about 3 mm thick and cut out rounds with a cup. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 170°C (340°F). These rolls are good for serving to guests or pairing with wine.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, butter, and grated Niva into a crumbly mixture. Add the egg yolk and cream.
Work into a smooth dough and let rest for about 1 hour.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3 mm thick. Cut out rounds with a cup and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the rounds with egg white and sprinkle with cheese, nuts, seeds, or other toppings of your choice.
Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C (340°F) until golden brown. Let cool before serving.

Tip: Niva is quite salty, so unsalted nuts or seeds make a better topping than additional cheese. Keep the dough wrapped in plastic wrap while it rests so it does not dry out.
