Tina Thompson of Orlando, Florida, writes: Because entertaining is a great joy for me, many of my dishes are party-friendly and easy to prepare. It's not uncommon to find me hosting impromptu gatherings for friends during the workweek so that I can try out new creations. As my recipe box grows, so do my fond memories. A nice addition to the holiday table. Serve with soup or salad, or even with drinks as an hors d'oeuvre. Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise |
2 large garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 5 ounces) |
3/4 cup finely crumbled blue cheese (about 3 ounces) |
28 1/3-inch-thick diagonal bread slices cut from 2 sourdough baguettes |
olive oil |
3/4 cup finely chopped green onions |
Directions:
1. Combine mayonnaise, garlic, ground pepper, and cayenne pepper in medium bowl and whisk to blend. Mix in cheeses; season with salt. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with oil. Place oiled side down on large rimmed baking sheet. Bake bread slices until almost golden, about 5 minutes. Spread 1 generous tablespoon cheese mixture on each bread slice on sheet. Bake until cheese topping starts to bubble and toasts are golden at edges, about 10 minutes.
3. Transfer toasts to large platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve warm.
