Into a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and
cayenne. Blend in the butter and Cheddar cheese.
Stir in the cream, stirring until the mixture forms
dough. Chill, wrapped in wax paper, for 2 hours. Roll
out dough 1/16-inch thick on a lightly floured surface
and cut into rounds, using a 1-1/2-inch cutter.
Reroll scraps and cut out more rounds. Arrange on
baking sheets, brush them lighly with the egg, and
bake in the middle of a preheated 450f oven for 5-7
minutes, or until browned lightly. In a small
container, cream together the Swiss cheese and
softened butter. Arrange half the rounds, bottom sides
up, on baking sheets. Divide the cheese mixture among
them. Make sandwiches by pressing the remaining
rounds on top and pressing lightly. Bake the croutes
in the 450f oven for 4 minutes, or until the cheese is
just melted. Makes 46 croutes. a Gourmet 1969 favorite.
