tgs Hors d’Oeuvres are essentially appetite-sharpeners. Give them mouth-watering flavour by the use of Mustard. By passing hors d’oeuvres in the living room with cock- tails or chilled fruit juices, many hostesses find dinner- time entertaining easier. The hors d'oeuvres add an air of festivity and give the hostess time to bring the hot main course dishes to the table before the guests are seated in the dining room. CANAPES Cut bread one-third of an inch thick, then in squares, strips, rounds or any odd shapes. Toast one side and spread with sandwich filling on untoasted side, such as: Cheese and sliced olives Salmon and tomato Sardines and hard boiled eggs Toasted bacon and pickles Stuffed celery —soft cheese and mustard together, fill the small sticks of celery with cheese and mayonnaise. CHEESE BREADS Bread Butter 1 cup grated cheese l egg 1 teaspoon Mustard 2 tablespoons vinegar Cut slices of bread one inch thick, removing the crusts. Then cut each slice into three strips. Butter all the surfaces. Combine the remaining ingredients and beat until they thicken. Spread all sides of the prepared bread. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven (325°F.) for about fifteen minutes watching carefully to prevent burning. The cheese mixture puffs up. These may be prepared beforehand and kept in a cool place until needed. Makes two or three dozen strips.
