Olive Cheddar Canapes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix olives, cheese, mayo, onion powder & curry.
• Arrange bread on an ungreased cookie sheet and toast one side under the broiler. Turn over and spread with the olive mixture (you can now freeze the slices and broil when thawed) and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbly.
• Cut each slice intp 4 triangles.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut 40 rounds from bread slices with cutter, then brush 1 side of each round with butter and bake on a large baking sheet until pale golden, about 8 minutes. (Leave toasts on baking sheet.)
• Preheat broiler.
• Finely grate Parmigiano-Reggiano using rasp (you will have about 1 cup). Mash together cream cheese, olives, scallion, bell pepper, paprika, and Sherry until combined well, then top each toast with 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano. Broil canapés about 4 inches from heat until Parmigiano-Reggiano begins to turn golden, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the Cheddar and the butter, add the flour and the cayenne, and blend the dough until it is combined well. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto wax paper and wrap or mold each tablespoon around each of the olives, covering each olive completely. Bake the wrapped olives on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, and serve them warm.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients and mix well. Spread over English muffins. Cut into quarters. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne and the Worcestershire and mix until smooth. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. Place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.
