Diploma Appetizers Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home Diploma Appetizers Recipe

After studying this delightful recipe Joanne Shew Chuck sent from St. Benedict, Saskatchewan, our kitchen staff unrolled a crafty way to display her appetizers—by tying the tidbits with green onion tops to resemble diplomas. Her response? "What a neat idea!" Adds Joanne, "We use these appetizers for all sorts of occasions. In fact, I regularly freeze them so I'm always prepared...even if unexpected guest drop in."—Pasty Dean, Sealy, Texas

Diploma Appetizers Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + freezing Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 32 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

16 to 20 green onions
2-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
32 slices white or wheat bread, crusts removed
Melted butter
1 cup boiling water

Directions

Cut green tops off onions; set aside. Chop enough of the remaining onions to measure 1/2 cup.
In a large skillet, saute onions and mushrooms in butter until onions are tender. Add cream cheese and seasonings; stir over low heat until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool slightly.
Flatten bread with a rolling pin. Spread 1 tablespoon of mushroom mixture on each slice and roll up. Place in a single layer on greased baking sheets. Freeze for 30 minutes. Frozen unbaked roll-ups may be stored in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Brush with melted butter. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut reserved onion tops in half lengthwise. Place in boiling water for 1 minute; drain and cool. Tie a strip around each roll-up. Yield: 32 servings.
