Cheese Shortbread

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a bowl, cream the butter.
Add the flour, salt and cayenne pepper and blend together well.
Add the egg yolk and blend until the dough forms a soft ball.
Mix in the cheese thoroughly.
Place the dough onto a baking tray and using the back of a metal spoon, shape into 2 x 10 cm squares about 1 cm thick.
Use a sharp knife and cut diagonally into 4 even triangles. Separate the triangles slightly with the knife.
Bake for ± 25 minutes or until golden.
If the triangles join together during cooking, separate with a knife while still hot.
Cool for about 5 minutes on the baking tray then turn out on a cooling rack.
Makes 2 large triangles. Cut triangles in 4 each or more if desired. Store in an airtight container.
