    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!

    The Overlooked Art of Pairing Food and Drink

    Research on beverage choices alongside meals consistently finds that drinks consumed during eating significantly affect both the pace and quantity of food consumed. Carbonated drinks slow eating pace by increasing satiety signals between bites. Water consumed during a meal reduces overall calorie intake compared to caloric beverages without affecting perceived satisfaction. And the tannins in certain teas and red wines, by binding to dietary proteins, may modestly affect protein bioavailability — making the drink at the table a nutritional consideration as well as a sensory one.
