Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

In a mixing bowl, add plain flour.

Add a pinch of mustard powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a generous pinch of salt to the flour.

Rub in diced cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Chop walnuts into small pieces and add them to the flour mixture.

Grate about 50g of blue Stilton cheese and add it to the mixture along with cheddar cheese.

Crack in half an egg to bind the mixture together and mix until it holds.

Shape the mixture into small morsels, about the size of croutons.

Place the shaped bites on a lined baking tray.

Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle poppy seeds on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
