cook time: 2

ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (1 quart)
  • 1 dash cayenne
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely diced bottled roasted red pepper (rinse and pat dry first)
  • 1 baguette

directions

Preheat broiler.

Stir together all ingredients, except baguette, plus 1 dash pepper and salt to taste.

Slice baguette crosswise 0.333 inch thick and spread bread thickly with cheese mixture. Broil 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbling and browned, about 2 minutes.

Scott Peacock recommends using half white Cheddar and half orange Cheddar.

Cheese spread can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.
