Ingredients

18 slices Sara Lee® Soft & Smooth® White Bread Made with Whole Grain

3 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup shredded Sara Lee® American Cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon light mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

½ cup Sara Lee® Honey Ham, chopped

1 tablespoon chopped green onions

Paprika and chives, optional

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350˚F.  Lightly spray 1 ¾ x 1-inch miniature muffin pans with vegetable cooking spray.

Press each slice of bread with palm of hand or rolling pin to flatten.  Cut star-shape with a 3-inch star cookie cutter from the center of each bread slice.  Place each star in muffin pan, pressing in center to form a cup.  Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

Combine cheeses, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire together in a medium bowl.  Add ham and onions, stirring until mixed.  Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful of ham mixture into each cup.  Bake an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until bread is crisp.  Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with chives, if desired.
