Olive Cheese Melts
1 cup black olives, chopped (or a mix of green & black)
1/3 cup scallions, chopped (aka green onions)
1+1/2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 English Muffins, split
note:- many recipes call for 1/2 tsp salt, but I do NOT add
1. In a medium-size bowl, combine olives, scallions, Cheddar Cheese, curry powder, mayonnaise. Mix well.
2. Spread mixture on English muffin halves. Cut muffin halves into fourths.
Note: If you want to freeze these, now is the time! Arrange pieces in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Freeze, when frozen put loose into a zip bag. (I often put 8 pcs into sandwich bags. very convenient when a friend pops over for an instant snack. You can grab as many as you'd like)
Bake: Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C) and bake for 10 minutes. The time is the same frozen or not. (but oven vary so keep an eye on them the first time)
Personal notes:
Have found that sometimes the "price friendly" English muffins do not always 'split' equally. Therefore have been buying higher priced muffins and use a knife to split in two. This way you will more likely end up having better equalized pieces.
