6 oz finely grated extra-sharp Cheddar (1 1/2 cups)

32 thin slices firm white sandwich bread
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 bunches fresh chives, very thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
Special equipment: a 2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • Stir together Cheddar, mayonnaise, onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
