Party Panache, Cheese Stars
With the 4th of July just around the corner
You might need a last minute snack or appetizer for your celebration!
If you have bread, cheese, mayonnaise and a cookie cutter,
you can make these!
Since we’re celebrating on the coast,
I made some “goldfish” too
This is a quick and popular snack you can make for any occasion
Use any bread you like, I used Pepperidge Farm thin white for the stars
and a thicker sour dough for the fish
Spread cut bread with a thick layer of mayonnaise
pssst…pretend you don’t see that light Hellman’s,
use Duke’s it’s so much better!
Then cover with a generous amount of grated cheese
Bake about 15 minutes
and you have a delightful little nibble that everyone will rave about!
Find a fun plate or tray to use for serving that goes with your theme or occasion
The better the cheese the better the taste!
You can make these with Pimiento Cheese too
Garnish ideas
Fish: add chives to look like scales, perhaps a piece of olive for an eye…
Stars: place on a blue plate and garnish with red pepper or tomato pieces

Jenna, this is so simple but delicious. The reason I know it is delicious…my Mama made these little cheese bites for my brother and me when we were growing up! Wishing you a wonderful summer day!
Definitely not rocket science, but if you cut something in a fancy shape it instantly looks special! Thanks Pam, I hope you have a wonderful 4th with your family 🇺🇸
Oh, I’m doing this! We are having a socially-distant dinner party with three other people in the back yard Saturday (or front porch if it rains), and I’ll make these for an appetizer. I have lots of cookie cutters…
Oh good, have a fun party Dorothy!!
