Recipe Instructions:

8.8 ounces grated Gouda or cheddar cheese
7 ounces very cold butter, cubed
7 ounces all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 egg, whisked
Caraway seeds, to sprinkle (or sesame seeds or flaky salt)

Directions
Place everything (minus the egg and seeds) in a food processor and pulse a few times until combined and crumbly. Taste the pastry and add more salt if you wish; it should be on the saltier side. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Roll the pastry on a floured surface (it is easier to do this in 2 batches) and cut the pastry into 1- x 2-inch rectangles using a very sharp knife. Place the crackers onto the baking trays and brush them with the whisked egg. Sprinkle them with caraway seeds.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
