Should have listened to the other reviews. I was very disappointed by this recipe and did not serve it to my guests. I actually spit out the first bite. I followed the recipe, elminiating most of the salt and I used Stilton, 1/2 through the baking I turned over the crackers. They looked good, as on the TV show; however, tasted floury, salty and really not good. Perhaps if you paired it with a sweet mango chutney, or something like that, but I certainly would not eat them alone. Very disappointing.

The recipe was easy to follow. I had absolutely no problem getting the walnuts to stick to the generously egg-washed log. I did, however, find the crackers (I actually think they are more like biscuits to be a bit dry, floury, and overly salty. Of course, the saltiness is a matter of opinion. All in all, a decent recipe.

I followed this recipe exactly as it was written and it was inedible. I absolutely love blue cheese and I could not eat these crackers. The crackers were incredibly salty and the Stilton had a bitter taste after it was cooked. The walnuts did not stick to the outside of the log very well and the texture of the cracker was very heavy. I ended up throwing the entire batch of crackers in the garbage. I would not recommend this recipe at all.

I made these for a Thanksgiving appetizer and everyone decided they wanted to see these again, probably for Christmas as well. The recipe was very easy! I did not sub the Stilton and I definitely think that would make a difference.

After reading some of the previous comments, I was disappointed in how these turned out. I have to agree with some of the other reviews which described these as having a heavy flour taste. While I used a nice blue cheese, I have to admit it was not Stilton, so perhaps that made a difference. I did serve them with quince paste, which did add a nice contrast to the blue cheese.

Just had to try making these crackers and I was so happy I made a double recipe. We'll be serving these for thanksgiving. Thank you Ina for another wonderful recipe.

I walked on the shoulders of the cooking giants who went before me and used all of their great tips. With a Kitchen Aid, this was so easy. I'm glad I toned down the salt, but did use 2 tsp. Next time it will be 1 tsp! I used 1 cup of Sam's club "bucket" of blue cheese crumbles at $7-8 dollars for 240z.. I can't bring myself to use Stilton as an ingredient in a cracker rather than on it. It tasted great, but maybe with Stilton it's SUPER great. Anyway, finely chopping the walnuts, leaving the dough refrigerated for at least 2 hours and flipping the crackers halfway through are imperative. (so is the egg wash, which I made, forgot, and added 2/32 of the way through the cooking time!

Took the advice of those who had tried the recipe, baked 1 batch w/feta, 1 w/gorgonzola, omitted salt entirely, cut flour to 1 cup, and turned crackers (not the cookie sheet after 11 minutes. DELICIOUS!! From ball to roll I used wax paper, which helped.

I made these delicious crackers per the recipe and what a great taste and texture. My friends and I are lovers of any type of blue cheese so these were gone in a heartbeat! The next time I will make them a bit smaller, one bite as oppposed to two bites and will mix the nuts into the dough so they don't fall off when moving/eating. Thanks Ina!!!
