Super Bowl Party Food!

Spicy Cheesy Wafers

No one will believe you made these! and they are so easy to make:

Ingredients:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons butter, soft
splash of Worcestershire sauce
2-3 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning (to taste, use other spices if no Old Bay)
salt and pepper
1/2 pound extra sharp cheddar cheese, get a block and shred it-always better than pre-shredded!
1/4 to 1/2 a cup crushed pecans, other nuts can be substituted but I prefer pecans.

Blend flour and butter in a bowl, mix in Worcestershire sauce and seasonings and cheese.  Form into 1-inch diameter rolls.  Wrap and chill at least 1 hour, slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.

Top slices with pecan pieces on a cookie sheet and bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes or until wafers start to brown around the edges.  Remove and cool on towel or cooling rack.  This recipe made around 2 dozen for me.  Enjoy!

Get a nice souffle dish that will hold this concoction.

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350

Blend together, the Eggs, Sour Cream, and Milk, then add the pepper, mustard, nutmeg and Tabasco.
Brush the butter inside the souffle dish good, then layer the cheese in the and pour the egg mixture gently over the top of all the cheese, leaving about 3/4 inch of spae at the top to prevent spillage.

Place the dish in the pre-heated oven, then pour the remaining mixture to fill to the very top of the dish.

Bake for 50 ish minutes or until the souffle is golden brown and puffs up like a dragon, or a balloon, usually about 2-3 inches above the rim.
