Title: Texas Toast
Categories: Appetizer
Yield: 1 Servings

4	oz	Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1		Stick (1/2 cup) of butter or margarine
1/8	ts	Pepper
1	ts	Dry mustard
16		Thick slices of bread

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine the chese, butter or margarine, pepper, and mustard in the top of a double boiler or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat until blended and smooth, stirring with a wire whisk.

Meanwhile, toast the slices of bread.

Spread the cheese mixture on the toasted bread, cut into quarters, and bake until browned, about 5 minutes.

Note: 2 or 3 drops of Worcestershire sauce on each quarter toast will enhance the sharp "cheesy" flavor of this hors d'oeuvre.

Yield: About 64 squares.
