For a change from the usual toasted tomato appetizer, try these baked bites. If you like, slice the baguette at an angle instead of making a straight cut. Ingredients:
1 french bread baguette (1 pound), cut into 36 slices |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese |
2/3 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1 green onion, chopped |
dash salt |
additional toasted almonds, optional |
Directions:
1. Place bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-9 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cheese, mayonnaise, almonds, bacon, onion and salt. Spread over bread. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with additional almonds if desired. Serve warm. Yield: 3 dozen.
