Frieda's Famous Cheese Appetizers

This is one of the easiest and most often requested recipes that we make in our family. They are like little open-faced grilled cheese sandwiches, only so much better! We make them for just about any holiday dinner, dinner party, or any other function that you could possibly think of. This recipe is especially popular with the younger crowd, and is one that our children are now making for their families.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do, and that it becomes a family tradition. I’m pretty sure that it will. Who doesn’t like a grilled cheese sandwich? ENJOY!

Cheese Appetizers
makes about 24 appetizers
[Your guests are going to pounce as soon as these come out of the oven. We usually make 2-3 per person, and regardless of whatever else we're having that usually isn't enough! Multiply the recipe as needed]

8 oz of cream cheese, softened
2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon of grated onion
24 toasted melba rounds

Mix the softened cream cheese, the grated cheddar, the egg yolk and the grated onion in a bowl. Refrigerate for about an hour or until ready to use. To serve spread about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture on to a toasted melba round[during Passover, you can use Tam Tams]. Put under the broiler until they are melted, bubbly, and brown on top[Keep an eye on them so they don't burn. You may want to leave the door open slightly]. Serve immediately.
