How to Make Hot Cheese Puffs
- Preheat your broiler.
- Spread 4 tablespoons of softened butter on one side of each of the 20 mini rye bread rounds.
- Broil the bread, butter-side up, for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- In a medium bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika to the egg whites, beating until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the untoasted side of each broiled bread round.
- Broil for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
