Preparation Steps

• Gather all ingredients.
• Blend Cheddar cheese, flour, and butter in a food processor until dough is a coarse-meal texture and forms into a ball.
• Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Shape dough into 1 ½-inch balls and place 1-inch apart on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven; press thumb into top of each ball, creating an indentation.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon pepper jelly into indentation. Bake until edges are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
