Basic Cheese Bites Recipe

• 1 8 oz. package grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• Ground red pepper to taste
• 1 (16-oz.) white sandwich bread slices (I like a sturdier dryer bread)

Preheat oven to 375°. Beat cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Beat in cream, egg, worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.

Cut crusts from bread slices, then cut each bread slice into 4 squares or triangles. Spread about a teaspoon of cheese mixture top of one of the pieces of bread and top with a second piece of bread.

Spread more cheese mixture over top and sides of sandwiches. Place sandwiches, 1 inch apart, on a lightly greased baking sheet.Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
