Cheese Dreams

By Chez_Alexander

These little gems will be the first appetizer to disappear. Make them the day before and refrigerate, or freeze up to 3 weeks. If frozen, pop in the oven straight from the freezer; increase the bake time by 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups finely grated sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• Ground red pepper or hot sauce to taste
• 1 (16-oz.) package firm white sandwich bread slices

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Beat cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Beat in cream and next 5 ingredients.

2. Cut crusts from bread slices; cut each bread slice into 4 squares. Spread cheese mixture on half of bread squares (about 1 tsp. per square); top each with 1 remaining square. Spread remaining cheese mixture over top and sides of sandwiches. Place sandwiches, 1 inch apart, on a lightly greased baking sheet.

3. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serving size = 3 dreams.
