1   Egg - separated

  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Mix flours and pecan meal well in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream the butter and blue cheese until very smooth and creamy. Beat in the egg yolk and salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped pecans and enough flour-mixture until the mixture forms a dough that will gather into a ball.

Roll the dough into two 12-inch logs and wrap tightly and freeze for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and heavily grease several baking sheets.

Slice the logs into 1/4-inch thick crackers and place 1/2-inch apart on the baking sheets. Place a pecan half decoratively on each slice.

In a small bowl lightly beat the egg whites. Brush the egg whites over each cracker and pecan half. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet and let cool on a paper towel lined wire rack.

This recipe yields approximately 100 crackers; trace of carb grams per cracker.
