Cheesy Carrot Canapés
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup medium grated carrots
  • ¼ cup finely grated carrots
  • ½ cup finely grated sharp Cheddar cheese
  • ½ (5.3-ounce) package shallot and chive spreadable cheese*
  • 8 slices hearty white bread, frozen
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together carrots and cheeses until blended.
  3. Using a 2½-inch square cutter, cut a square from each frozen bread slice. Using a large sharp knife, cut each bread square in half diagonally. Place bread triangles on prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, spread melted butter over tops of bread triangles.
  4. Bake until tops of bread triangles are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the bread triangles over and bake for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from oven, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon carrot mixture onto butter side of each bread triangle. Place bread triangles on baking sheet, carrot side up.
  6. Bake bread triangles until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
  8. *We used Boursin Shallot & Chive Cheese.
Notes
KITCHEN TIP: Carrot mixture can be prepared a day in advance, placed in a covered container, and refrigerated until ready to serve.
