what you need

slices white bread

Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

1/2

tsp. dried thyme leaves

pkg. (12 oz.) frozen cooked shrimp, thawed, chopped

1/2

cup KRAFT Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheeses

1/3

cup KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise

1/4

tsp. salt

Make It

PREHEAT broiler. Trim crusts from bread slices, then cut into 20 assorted shapes, using 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter to cut circles and sharp knife to cut triangles. Tear enough of the bread trimmings into fine crumbs to measure 1/2 cup crumbs; set aside.

MIX butter and thyme; brush evenly onto bread cutouts. Place in single layer on baking sheet.

BROIL 2 min. or until golden brown. Meanwhile, mix reserved bread crumbs with shrimp, cheese, mayo and salt. Spread evenly onto toast cutouts. Broil an additional 8 to 10 min. or until hot and bubbly.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make-Ahead

Cut out and toast bread shapes as directed. Store in tightly covered container or resealable plastic bag. Prepare shrimp mixture as directed; cover and refrigerate until about 30 min. before serving time. Spread shrimp mixture onto toast cutouts, and broil as directed.

Great Substitute

Substitute 2 cans (6 oz. each) crabmeat, drained and flaked, for the chopped shrimp.

I made these for lunch today and all I can say is YUMMY. I made a few changes to the recipe, I used dill instead of thyme like another user did and I added a little garlic powder to the shrimp mixture. They turned out great. Will be making these again.

I MADE THIS RECIPE FOR FRIENDS SERVING IT WITH A CRISP WHITE WINE. I USED FRESH DILL INSTEAD OF THE THYME IT LOOKS FRESH AND SO COMPLIMENTARY TO THE SEAFOOD. IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS AND PLAN TO DO IT AGAIN FOR THANKSGIVING.

I made this appetizer for my cooking final and the judges loved it! For some reason mine didn't look anything like the ones in the picture. The breadcrumbs actually made it more greyish, but it was still incredibly delicious. To give it more of a punch, I added a spoonful of black pepper, but didn't salt it.

This was so good. I cut the recipe in half because I made this for dinner for my husband and I. He loved it. It was so easy and felt so light. I would make this again for dinner or for family get togethers.

This recipe was so great. I made it for a bridal shower and all the guests loved it. They ate it in one sitting! I cut the bread into themed hearts and an "M" for the bride and groom's first names. These were such a hit! Will certainly do it again!

Very good! I made these at Thanksgiving in 2004, they couldn't stay on the table!

I made these for a cook out and everyone loved them. My mother made me make some for a baby shower the following weekend and they were a hit there also. The only thing is they are not as good after they get cold, you want to make them right before you are ready to eat them.
