My friends and I like these melted cheese toasts, served right from the skillet, as hors d'oeuvres. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon curry powder |
vegetable oil |
8 large rye or whole-grain crackers, such as ryvita |
8 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, cut into thin strips |
salt |
eight 1/4 -inch-thick slices of cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces) |
1 scallion, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a medium skillet, toast the curry powder over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the curry powder to a plate to cool and wipe out the skillet. Rub the skillet lightly with oil and set 2 rye crackers in the pan. Arrange one-eighth of the sun-dried tomato strips on each cracker and season with salt. Top each with a slice of Cheddar, a few scallion slices and 1 to 2 large pinches of curry powder. Cover the skillet and cook over moderately low heat until the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes. Serve hot from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
2. Wine Recommendation: A glass of Chardonnay, such as the 1996 Geyser Peak, would be welcome with these open-faced snacks; a nonvintage brut sparkling wine from California, such as the Scharffenberger or Roederer Estate, would lend a touch of luxury.
