I was at a wedding today in upstate Jersey. The bride and groom are old friends, matter of fact THEY stood up for Nan and I when we got hitched in NYC in 2007.
Later as we were saying our goodbyes and well wishes after the reception the bride spoke right up and said, I'd love it if you would send me a big bag of your cheese wafers. So I promised - and I was flabbergasted I could not find the recipe posted. So here ya go, cheese wafers. Your lips will love them - great with cold sodas or a nice wine.

Cheese Wafers


Mis en Place
1/2 lb. salted butter
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar (freshly grated)
6 oz. parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1 tsp. chinese chili paste
1 large clove garlic (crushed)
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups flour
2 cups rice krispies



Preparation:

Cream butter in mixer, add grated cheddar and continue creaming until a homogenous mass. Add parmesan and continue creaming until homogenous, add chili paste, garlic, salt and water and continue creaming. Add flour and cream until smooth. Lastly fold in rice krispies. Roll into 3 logs about 1 inch in diameter, cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375.
Slice into 1/4 inch slices and bake 24 to a cookie sheet for 10 minutes. Remove and cool for a few minutes. Flip and bake for 5-7 minutes depending on your oven (there’s a point where they’re underdone - a little too moist - and a few minutes later they’re burned - you must determine the exact time you bake time based on your oven and the color and texture you prefer). Remove, cool and store in an air-tight container - keep about 2 weeks. Serve with a hearty red wine or cold beverage.


the only photo I could find of them, they are in big bags in the background, the tasty stuff in front: Big's Parmesan Cheddar Brioches.

I am going to try these tonight!

By the way Mike, I wanted to tell you about an appetizer I had the other night that was INCREDIBLE!
Chinese style wonton - except BIG and LOADED with . . . Tobiko and Boursin Cheese, served on a bed of arugala with a light drizzle of balsamic/shalott reduction. Try it!

Whoa

I remember going to a party one of the employees at Vivande threw - even the waiters and waitresses were out of their mind foodies. One person made foix gras pot stickers - so good. Don't know how the foix gras didn't just outright melt when the potstickers were sauteed.

Yours sounds great.

One way to use won-ton wrappers that is really very flexible is to make little pouches with the and deep fry them - what you put in them is totally up to you: a pork/vegetable filling, shrimp and scallops, Asian style, ala Francias with some ground chicken and tarragon, you name it. And then the bed you serve them on: arugula, baby greens, a fine asian slaw. And the dipping sauces, well there's as many options there as there are fillings... It's all good when you have the time.
