Cheese Toasts – Much Better Than Garlic Bread

These Cheese Toasts are much better than garlic bread! Looks great on a buffet table and goes with anything. Wonderful cheese toasted bread!

 

Can be prepared the day before if wrapped in foil, if they get a little saturated overnight, it’s ok, makes them even better!

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is best, of course, but in a pinch, I’ve used the jarred stuff from the grocery and it worked out OK.

The mayo and the cayenne pepper add the uniqueness to this dish. Don’t leave it out!

Paula Deen’s Crabbies Appetizer

Paula Deen’s Crabbies Appetizer is a great make-ahead appetizer that freezes well. Another easy to make great recipe from Paula Deen.

They taste like I remember them from family Christmas parties past.

When ready to serve frozen just take them out of the freezer, put them on a pan, added a little salt, and broil them. No thawing necessary. They turn out great.

You really have to watch them under the broiler, though. They can easily burn if you get distracted.

Even better with some cinnamon sugar on top. Adds a nice cinnamony crunch.

Definitely try this – it’ll be devoured by everyone within reach of it. Double the recipe, like I did – you’ll be glad you have extra on hand.
