Cheesy Toasts, My First Food Memory

A few years ago I ate a savory pie in Kansas City, it was the best pie I had eaten on the "Pie Across America" tour I was on. You can imagine on a pie tour I'd be eating lots of pie, so it being my favorite and the one I can still taste is impressive. It reminded me of a snack I loved as a kid. My mom made these bite sized treats and froze them so that I could pop them in the oven and "cook" them myself. She started with white bread, the real squishy kind, cut into circles, no crust. Those were toasted until a little brown and awaited the yummy cheesy top. The topping, best I can recall, was made of cream cheese and green onions (scallions, as New Yorkers would say) whipped into a creamy spread with a little bite from the onion. She would put a dollop on each of the rounds and freeze them. When I wanted this tasty snack, I would heat up the oven, put them on a metal tray and wait. The cheese would get warm and soft, the toasts would stay a little crisp. They were the fancy kid's version of the gourmet goat cheese and onion pie I had in Kansas City!
