CREAM CHEESE CANAPES

Steps:

• Cut each slice of bread diagonally in two. Spread butter thinly over each triangle, place, buttered side up, on a cookie sheet and lightly brown in the oven or broil very briefly.
• Mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Tabasco, green onion and cayenne into a paste. Pile about 1 tablespoon on each triangle of bread on the unbuttered side. Sprinkle with Parmesan, about 1 teaspoon on each. Top each canape with 1/4 of a sun-dried tomato. Freeze.
• Bake, frozen, at 375ºF for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

SPANISH OLIVE & CREAM CHEESE CANAPES (ZWT-8)

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position & preheat oven to 375°F
• Cut 40 sml rounds from bread slices w/cutter, then brush 1 side of ea round w/butter & bake on a lrg baking sheet until pale golden (about 8 min). Remove from oven, but leave toasts on baking sheet. Preheat broiler.
• Finely grate Parmigiano-Reggiano using rasp (yield = approx 1 cup). You may use a pre-grated variety if able to find.
• Mash together cream cheese, olives, scallion, bell pepper, paprika & sherry until combined well. Then top each toast w/1 tsp cream cheese mixture & sprinkle w/grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Broil canapés about 4 in from heat until Parmigiano-Reggiano begins to turn golden (about 1 min).
• COOK NOTES: Toasts can be made 1 dy ahead, cooled completely & then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. The cream cheese mixture can be made 1 dy ahead (chill & cover). Bring to room temp before using.
• MY TIP: My choice would be to brush the bread slices while still whole & then cut the rounds. This would mean far less time spent handling 40 sml pieces of bread.
