SESAME CHEESE WAFERS

These wafers will have several uses when you are planning appetizers. They are a flavorful, crisp addition to most light soups or an excellent contrast in texture to a soft appetizer such as stuffed mushrooms. You will see them disappear first if you include them in an assortment of crackers for spreads or pates.

6 ounces cheese, grated {about 1 1/2 cups *}
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup white flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon {or more} cold water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Combine the cheeses, flour, wheat germ, sesame seeds, and mustard. Cut in butter. Mix one tablespoon of water with the Worcestershire sauce and add to the dough. {The dough may need a few more drops of water to bind it.} Form into a log 1 1/2" in diameter, wrap in saran, and refrigerate until firm.
Cut into 1/8" wafers and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven 20-30 minutes.
Makes 24-30 wafers.

* We often use 1/2 Cheddar and 1/2 jalapeno jack cheese.
