2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 cup water
1 3/4 cups grated Asiago cheese
1 teaspoon red food color
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil

Let stand 5 minutes before baking.

I'm not a big fan of Asiago cheese, but these candy canes were surprisingly good. The sweetness of the candy cane balances out the sharpness of the cheese. I'll definitely be making them again.
