When I was a little girl (150 years ago) you bought Kraft Cheese Spread (Cheddar, American Pimento,, etc) in little glass containers that became juice glasses for breakfast. Every home had a set of 47 because it was the only soft cheese you could buy. They are still available (even on Amazon) but now we have many choices. Use a plain one for this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 jar American or Cheddar cheese spread (5oz )
- ¼ c sherry
- 2 Tab mayonnaise
- ½ tsp mustard
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 long loaf French bread
Directions:
- Combine cheese spread and sherry in a bowl, blend thoroughly.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard and Worcestershire sauce – mix well.
- Cut bread in half, lengthwise; slice crosswise, not quite all the way through.
- Spread the cheese mixture over cut surfaces of bread.
- Broil slowly until delicate brown.
- Serve hot.
Serves: Depends on how long the bread is. Plan on 1 – 2 inches per person.
