Curried Cheddar Date Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Chop walnuts and in a small skillet cook in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly toasted. Cool nuts slightly.
• Preheat broiler.
• Coarsely grate apple and finely chop dates. In a bowl stir together all ingredients except pitas until combined well.
• Horizontally split pitas and arrange, cut sides down, on a large baking sheet. Broil pitas about 4 inches from heat until golden and crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and turn pitas over. Divide Cheddar mixture among pitas, spreading evenly. Broil pitas until cheese mixture begins to bubble, about 2 minutes. Cut each pita into 6 wedges.

Steps:

• Mix the cheese, green onions, and olives together in a bowl.
• Add the mayonnaise and curry powder and mix well.
• Divide the cheese mixture on to the toasted English muffin halves and spread to cover the surface of each muffin evenly.
• Place the muffins on a baking sheet (cheese side up) and broil until they are puffed and golden, about 3 minutes.
• Cut each muffin into four squares and serve immediately.
• Note: These can be prepared ahead of time - Chill and then broil right before serving.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat all ingredients except peanuts, apples and pears with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes until well mixed and fluffy.
• Spoon cheese mixture onto plastic wrap; shape into a ball. Coat cheese ball with peanuts. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with apple and pear slices.
