    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour
    1                cup  pecan pieces -- toasted and cooled
       1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- (1 stick), cut into 12 pieces
    6             ounces  cold blue cheese -- crumbled or cut into small pieces
    1                     egg -- separated

Put flour in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add pecans 
and pulse until pecans are finely chopped. Add butter and blue cheese 
and pulse until a mix of pea-sized lumps and sandy crumbs forms. Add 
egg yolk and pulse again just until dough comes together.

Scrape dough onto a large sheet of wax paper and press. Cut dough 
into halves and form each piece into a 10" log. Wrap in wax paper and 
freeze until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375F. Cover 2 large baking sheets with parchment.

Cut logs into 1/4" thick slices and arrange about 1/2" apart on the 
baking sheets. Lightly beat egg white and brush on tops of crackers. 
Prick with a fork. Bake 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let 
cool. Store in an airtight container.

Makes 5 to 6 dozen.
