Bacon And Cheddar Toasts
- 1/2 lb extra-sharp white Cheddar, coarsely grated (2 cups)
- 1/2 lb cold sliced lean bacon, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 14 very thin slices firm white sandwich bread
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
- Stir together cheese, bacon, onion, horseradish, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula until blended well.
- Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mixture evenly to edges of each slice of bread with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and freeze, covered with wax paper, until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Trim crusts off bread and reserve for another use (see cooks' note, below), then cut each slice into 4 squares. Bake toasts on baking sheet until beginning to brown on edges, about 20 minutes.
