Pastry crust (packaged or your favorite recipe)
1 tsp (5 ml) butter
3 - 4 slices Canadian bacon, finely chopped
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 cups (375 ml) grated Canadian cheddar cheese
1 Tbs (15 ml) grated onion
2 tsp (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
1 tsp (5 ml) dry mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cut the pastry dough into small circles and line 24 to 36
(depending on size) tiny tart or muffin pans. Heat the butter
in a small saucepan and cook the Canadian bacon until lightly
browned. Combine with the remaining ingredients and spoon into
the pastry shells. Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until
the pastry is golden brown and the filling has set. Serves 8
to 12 as an appetizer.
