Cheddar Chutney Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Stir together cheese, bacon, onion, horseradish, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula until blended well.
• Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mixture evenly to edges of each slice of bread with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and freeze, covered with wax paper, until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Trim crusts off bread and reserve for another use (see cooks' note, below), then cut each slice into 4 squares. Bake toasts on baking sheet until beginning to brown on edges, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together chutney, Cheddar, sour cream, cream cheese, and salt and pepper to taste until combined well.
• Make 6 sandwiches with filling and bread, pressing together gently. With a 1 1/2-inch round cutter cut 4 rounds from each sandwich.
• Put coriander on a small plate and spread edges of rounds with mayonnaise to coat well. Roll edges in coriander. Sandwiches may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.

Steps:

• Lay 6 slices of the bread on a cutting board and brush each slice generously with the butter. Turn the slices over and spread each one with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chutney. Place 1/2 cup of the Cheddar evenly on each slice and place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of each sandwich. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
• Heat a panini press (see Cook's Note) and grill the sandwiches according to the directions for the machine, until the bread is nicely browned on both sides and the Cheddar is starting to melt.
• Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and cut each one in half diagonally. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• On a baking sheet arrange bread slices in one layer and broil about 4 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• In a small bowl stir together chutney and mustard and spread on one side of each toast. Divide Cheddar evenly among toasts and broil until cheese is melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve toasts immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toast baguette slices directly on oven rack until lightly browned. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Spread top of each slice with chutney mustard. Divide bacon evenly among toasts; sprinkle with cheese. Top with onion slices. Return to oven, and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
