Ingredients
For the rings
10nosWhite bread slicesyou can use brown/multigrain
1nogreen capsicumfinely sliced
1noonionfinely sliced
100gramscheddar cheesegrated
½teaspoonmixed herbs
½teaspoonfreshly pounded black pepper
salt to taste
For the Spread
5tablespoonbuttersoftened
3-4tablespoontomato ketchup
¼cupgrated cheddar cheese
Instructions
Let us prepare the stuffing first, chop the veggies finely, take them together in a wide bowl, add cheese , salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Give it a good stir. Let it sit.
Next the spread, take butter, grated cheese and tomato sauce, mix it well together
Now get to the bread. Using a big cookie cutter cut a round slice of the bread. Using a smaller size cookie cutter cut a ring shape to act like a border for our cheese disc.
Assembling the disc
Take a bread disc, smear the butter-ketchup spread, place the ring on top. Place 2-3 tablespoon of filling in the center. Repeat the same with other discs.
Arrange the bread discs in a parchment lined baking tray. As they don't spread while baking, you can pack them little close.
Preheat the oven to 200c and bake the discs for about 15-18 minutes.
I baked these cheese discs in my microwave convection oven, which took around 18 minutes. When i baked them in my gas oven it too just 12 minutes. So keep an eye on your bread disc from around 10 minutes.
Remove the discs from the oven let it sit on the wire rack for 5-8 minutes.
Serve it warm, with some tomato ketchup on the side.
Notes
Cutting the bread to shapes is totally your choice. if making it for kids party i would keep the shapes.
I have used only cheddar you can also use a mix of cheese for this fun bake
Baking time varies from oven to oven, so bake accordingly.
