CHEESE SQUARES APPETIZER



Cheese Squares Appetizer image

This is a wonderful baked appetizer blending the tastes of Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. The amount of jalapenos used can easily be adjusted to personal taste, although baking does take a lot of the burn out of the peppers. I've made this several times and I never have leftovers. My husband wishes I would make these for him every day. I don't recommend doubling the recipe; make multiple batches instead.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pieces rye bread or pickled rye bread, sliced 3/4-inch thick, such as Carissa's Salty Soured Pickled Rye (see Cook's Notes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Gruyere
1/3 cup sliced spicy pickles or pickle chips

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Spread one side of each piece of bread with the softened butter, then flip them over so they are buttered side down. To 2 of the pieces of bread, spread the Dijon evenly over the surface. Divide the sliced onion evenly between 2 pieces of bread. Divide the cheese between the 2 pieces of bread, then cover the surface with spicy pickles. Top each sandwich with the remaining pieces of bread, buttered side out.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut the crusts off both sandwiches.
  • Add the sandwiches to the griddle pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook on the other side until the cheese has melted completely and the sandwiches are golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the sandwiches to a cutting board, slice into bars and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups finely ground graham crackers (from 15 rectangles)
3 cups (10 ounces) finely shredded unsweetened coconut
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 stick ( 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 2-inch pieces, plus more for pan
3 large eggs plus 5 large egg yolks
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Butter parchment.
  • Stir together graham cracker crumbs and 2 cups coconut.
  • Place chocolates and 3 tablespoons sugar in a heatproof bowl, and set over a pan of simmering water. Heat, stirring, until melted. Add butter, and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Whisk in 1 egg.
  • Stir chocolate mixture into coconut mixture. Press evenly into prepared pan. Bake until set, 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool in pan.
  • Using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat cream cheese and remaining cup sugar on high speed until very smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and add egg yolks and remaining 2 eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until completely smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, and stir until smooth. Pour over cooled crust. Sprinkle remaining cup coconut evenly over the top.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top layer is just set and coconut is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate, loosely covered, overnight.
  • Run a sharp knife around edges of pan, and use parchment to lift out cheesecake. Run a knife under hot water, and dry well. Use it to cut cheesecake into 1-inch squares, wiping knife clean between cuts.

DELICIOUS CHEESE TOAST SQUARES



Delicious Cheese Toast Squares image

My mom used to make these, along with an 'olive puff', when I was little. I swear I can eat 10 of them. They are SO good! NOTE: If you've never seen Kraft Old English cheese, it's not in the refrigerated section. It's a jar of cheese and might be near the Velveeta type items.

Provided by Jennifer Scott

Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 loaf pepperidge farm very thin sandwich bread
2 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dill weed
2 tsp hot sauce (i prefer louisiana or crystal)
4 jar(s) kraft old english sharp cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Freeze bread for about half an hour, then remove (Freezing helps prevent tearing while spreading). Preheat oven to 350. Cut crusts off bread. Blend butter, onion powder, dill weed, hot sauce, and cheese together until well blended, lighty and almost fluffy. If you find the bread uncooperative, put it back in the freezer for a couple of moments (or you could just keep it in the freezer as you make the individually)
  • 2. Spread cheese on one slice of bread, top with another slice of bread, spread cheese on that slice and top with another slice of bread. Cut into quarters. Spread cheese all around the sides and top (not on the bottom), and place on baking sheet (spray with Pam first). Bake 15-20 minutes. NOTE: It has been suggested that freezing them after they've been "iced" is a good idea - it's not on my recipe card, but it may have just been inadvertantly left off. If you find that your cheese is 'runnier' and looks like it may just melt off rather than into the bread, then throw them in the freezer for an hour or two prior to cooking.
  • 3. YUM!
