Serving Size : 20
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 ounces cream cheese — softened
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 stalk celery — finely chopped
2 green onions — chopped
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon hot sauce — such as Frank’s (not tabasco)
1 can cooked chicken — drained and diced
1 loaf Italian bread — cut into 1/2-inch thick slices and lightly toasted
1/2 cup bleu cheese, crumbled — optional
Preheat the broiler.
In a small mixing bowl, beat together the mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Add the cheddar cheese, celery, green onions, pepper, hot sauce and cooked chicken. Stir together.
Spread the chicken-cheese mixture on the toasted bread slices.
Broil about 3 inches from the heat source for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Sprinkle each piece with bleu cheese crumbles before serving.
Serves 20 as an appetizer.
