Title: Blue-Cheese Pinwheels
Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 36 Servings

1/4 lb Blue cheese (room temp)
1/2 c Minced parsley
4 tb Buter, softened
6 sl Soft white bread

In small bowl, mix blue cheese, 1/4 c minced parsley, and 2 tbsp butter
until well blended.

Trim crusts from bread slices; reserve bread trimmings for making crumbs
another day. With rolling pin, roll bread slices flat. Evenly spread about
1 rounded tablespoonful cheese mixture on each bread slice; roll up,
jelly-roll fashion.

On waxed paper, place remaining 1/4 cup minced parsley. Spread outside of
cheese rolls with remaining butter; coat lightly with parsley. Wrap rolls
tightly in plastic wrap; refigerate at least 30 minutes for easier slicing.

To serve, slice each parsley-coated cheese roll crosswise into six slices.
Place slices, cut-side up, on platter. Makes 3 dozen hors d'oeuvres.
