Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 and lightly butter or oil a cookie sheet.

Cream the butter and cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add cream, egg, salt, mustard and worcestershire and mix well. Add a healthy pinch of cayenne or a couple shots of Tabasco to taste and blend.

Cut crusts off bread slices, cut into rectangles and cut in half again. Make a sandwich of two squares by spreading cheese mixture between each pieces. Spread cheese on top of each sandwich and spread a thin film around all four sides. Place bottom side down on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Note: These can be assembled either the day before or on the morning of the party and kept on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen before baking. Pop them into the oven straight from the freezer, allow for more baking time.
