These are yummy with soup, and wonderful as an appetizer with olives and salami..

1-stick butter, cut into bits
1/2c. chopped toasted walnuts
about 2 Tab. milk
1-large egg

1.Stir together flour,cheese,and salt. With pastry blender blend in butter bits til it makes coarse crumbs.Stir in walnuts.
2. in small bowl, beat milk and egg. Pour mix over dry ingredients and stir til moistened. Add more milk if needed. say a teaspoon at a time. Squeeze dough together and form a ball.
3. Cut the dough into two equal parts. Shape each piece into a 7 inch log and place on sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and chill til firm 4 hrs. or overnight.
4. Place a rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 400. Butter two large baking sheets.

Do you use English walnuts or black walnuts? I especially like the strong flavor of black walnuts.

Callie,
I've only used English, but black walnuts might taste even better..They are my favorites. I'll try black for sunday. Thanks for the idea...

Just gorgeous Kadesma, I think I might try adding a little basil or oregano to these, but otherwise keep the recipe the same. It looks awesome just the way it is :)

You're very welcome :) I love that about posting recipes/thoughts here too. Sometimes a TNT gets a new spin from someone else and suddenly you have 2 or 3 new TNTs based on your origional recipe.
 
Kadesma, try subbing out a little of the AP flour with some rice flour - makes them incredibly light and crispy! Your recipe is very similar to my 'cheddar pennies' recipe, made w/pecans.
