1

Combine blue cheese and butter in a food processor; process until creamy. Mix flour, cornstarch, pepper, and kosher salt together in a small bowl; add to the blue cheese mixture. Pulse to combine. Add the chopped walnuts and process just until incorporated. Do not overprocess. Remove the blue cheese mixture from the food processor bowl and shape into a ball; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least one hour.

2

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Place the chilled dough on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out about 1/8-inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and cut into 1-inch circles using a fluted cookie cutter. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Bake until light brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool.

4

To assemble: Spread ¼ tsp. of the cream cheese on each shortbread. Top with equal amounts of chutney, a walnut half, and a leaf of parsley.

 

Yield: About 36

 

 Cooking Tips

Do ahead tip: The shortbread can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container. Assemble up to 1 hour before serving.
