Serve these Mini Hot Browns as an appetizer or main course. They are delicious warmed especially when served with melted cheddar cheese. For the appetizer you could serve the melted cheese separately in a small pitcher, so each bite is not overly messy to eat. Guests can add more cheese as desired.

Tip : Toast the mini bread crusts before adding meat and cheese. To do this, brush olive oil over the crust and place under broiler for 1 minute. Watch to make sure you don’t burn the crust. You can make these ahead of time and store in plastic bag in freezer until ready to use. Thaw bread before creating appetizers.
