Swiss cheese, yes!  Bacon, yes!  

Those are two reasons why this recipe makes outstanding canapés.  And what makes them even better is the rye bread they’re served on!  This is another of Mom’s recipes...

Canapés are hors d’oeuvres which are ordinarily served on a round or triangle of bread and may be almost too stylish and “pretty” to eat.  

You will impress your crowd when serving these as they make a great presentation and taste divine.  Another great easy hors d’oeuvres for your Super Bowl party!

Hot Swiss Canapés

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

3 slices uncooked bacon, chopped

1½ cups Swiss cheese, shredded

½ chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup chopped green onions

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Method:

Beat egg whites (at room temperature) until stiff peaks form; fold in chopped bacon, Swiss cheese, green pepper, onions, salt and pepper. 

Spread about 1 tablespoon mixture on each bread slice. 

Place on baking sheets and broil 4”-5” from heat about 5 minutes or until bacon is cooked.

Serve immediately.

Very tasty!  Delicious!!!
