Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup (250 mL) butter, softened
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Kozlik's Brown Mustard Powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • Pinch of pepper
  • 2 cups (500 mL) shredded aged cheddar cheese

Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until dough is firm. Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
