Tasty Tuesday: Hot Ryes

Per Katie's request, here is the recipe for my Hot Ryes appetizers.

I cannot take credit for this recipe. I got it from my mom who got it from her friend, Connie.

Ingredients:

1 loaf dark rye bread

2 cups shredded swiss cheese

12 strips of crispy bacon, chopped

1/2 cup chopped black olives

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

pepper to taste

mayonnaise as needed

Preheat oven to 375*.

Cut bread into square, bite size pieces. Line a cookie sheet with foil and place bread on it.

In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, bacon, olives, powders and pepper. Add a spoonful of mayo to mixture. Continue to add mayo as needed- just enough for the cheese mixture to stick together. Top each piece of bread with a spoonful of cheese mixture. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted well.

Serve immediately.
