Cheddar Cheesettes

I was playing around in one of my mom’s old cookbooks today and saw this recipe. Seemed like a great appetizer to make. I was going to play around with seasonings, but I am so glad I left them simple. These can be completely done in about 15 minutes with ingredients you probably have in your house. And don’t you just love the name?

Ingredients (makes 12):

3 slices white bread

2 Tablespoons butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 egg

1 heaping cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray. In a large, shallow bowl, beat the egg and butter together. Pour the cheddar into a separate large, shallow bowl. Cut each slice of bread into four triangles by cutting on the diagonal twice (you can remove the crusts first if you like, but I am lazy). Dip the triangles quickly into the butter/egg mixture, letting the excess drip off and then dip both sides in the cheese, patting the cheese on lightly. Place on the baking sheet and cook 8 minutes. Flip with a pancake turner and cook another 5 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
