    Ingredients

    • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    • 0.5 cup butter

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 2 tablespoons herbs

    • 0.25 cup milk

    • 1 egg

    • 1 egg yolk

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
    • In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Add the shredded cheddar cheese and herbs, mixing just until everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
    • Add milk slowly to the mixture and stir until a dough begins to form, being careful not to overwork it.
    • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into equal rectangles.
    • Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between for expansion.
    • Beat the egg with a little water to make an egg wash, and brush the edges of each rectangle.
    • Top each rectangle with a spoonful of the cheese and herb mixture, spreading evenly and leaving borders clear.
    • Cover with remaining dough rectangles, pressing edges to seal thoroughly, and crimp with a fork for design.
    • Brush tops with the egg yolk wash before baking to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
    • Cool slightly before serving; these can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Panda Express Just Added a New Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher — And It’s Already Going Viral

    Fruit-based refreshers at fast-casual chains tend to be lighter than sodas or lemonades — but they still contain added sugars from syrups and flavor concentrates, so they’re best treated as an occasional swap rather than a daily hydration choice. The strawberry-dragonfruit combination does offer some natural antioxidant compounds from the fruit flavoring, though the nutritional benefit is modest compared to eating whole fruit. If you’re ordering the Hot Orange Chicken alongside it, the refresher’s natural sweetness does genuinely complement the heat in a way that makes the overall meal more enjoyable — which can help you eat more slowly and mindfully.

    Five Things Your Blender Can Do That Have Nothing to Do With Smoothies

    The blender is one of the best tools for sneaking more vegetables into meals without anyone noticing. Blended soups are the obvious move — a full head of cauliflower or a pound of butternut squash disappears into a velvety texture that feels indulgent without being heavy. But the same principle applies to sauces, dressings, and even smoothies where a handful of spinach or frozen zucchini adds nutrients without changing the flavor in any meaningful way. If eating more vegetables is the goal, the blender is one of the lowest-friction ways to get there.
