    List of Ingredients




    1/2 lb. extra-sharp white Cheddar, coarsely grated (2
    cups)
    1/2 lb. cold sliced lean bacon, cut into 1" pieces
    1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
    11/2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    14 very thin slices firm white sandwich bread, such as
    Pepperidge Farm, or small rounds of cocktail bread,
    such as sourdough

    Recipe



    Place bacon, onion, horseradish, salt, and pepper into
    a food processor and pulse until ingredients are
    fairly small. (Don't completely pulverize them.)
    Remove to a bowl and stir in cheese.

    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
    note, below), then cut each slice into 4 squares or
    triangles. Bake toasts on baking sheet until beginning
    to brown on edges, about 20 minutes.

    Makes 56 hors d'oeuvres
    NOTES:

    Reserved crusts (with some of topping still on them)
    can be baked at 375�F until lightly browned, about 10
    minutes, then cooled. Break up crusts and sprinkle
    over salads.

    Toasts can be prepared and cut 2 weeks ahead and
    frozen, layered between sheets of waxed paper in an
    airtight container. Thaw before baking.
