Directions
Preliminaries: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Procedure: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, cream together the blue cheese and butter. Add the flour and cayenne, processing just to blend. Transfer to a bowl and work in the poppy seeds. Divide the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll each dough half into a 1 inch thick cylinder and refrigerate again until very firm, about 2 hours. Cut the cylinders into ¼ inch thick slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Presentation: Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in air-tight containers.
