Texas Toast

Texas Toast

4 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz. butter or margarine
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dry mustard
16 slices bread, thick cut

Preheat oven to 400. Combine the cheese, butter, 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.

Notes: 2 or 3 drops of Worcestershire sauce on each quarter toast will enhance the sharp "cheesy" flavor.
