My Grandmother lived in Grand Rapids when my father was young...the recipe in our family came from her....we have "tweeked" the preparation some to suit our tastes though. I also never tell people what is in them before they try it....people who don't like olives or don't like curry still LOVE these addictive little bites! I ALWAYS make a double batch as the freeze and re-heat beautifully (if you can keep them around for any length of time without devouring them all). Our recipe is: 1 C ripe olives (chopped...we do in food processor) 1/2 c green onions chopped 1 1/2 c shredded american cheese (mild cheddar if you can't find this) 1/3 c mayonaise 1/2 tsp curry powder 6 english muffins *we toast the muffins in toaster first combine all ingredients (except muffins) by pulsing in food processor (or mix in a bowl, but make sure olives and onions are finely chopped). Divide evenly among all muffin halfs. Broil on high until bubbly and a bit brown. Then (after you taste one), cut each into quarters and serve them on a hot, electric warming tray (this keeps the bottom crisp.....we like them better this way). Now, if making ahead of time, broil them as indicated above. Let them cool. Then cut in quarters. Put in freezer container between layers of waxed paper. When you remove them from freezer for a party, briefly reheat under broiler if you don't have a warming tray.....or, put the frozen triangles directly on the warming tray before guest arrive and let them toast (on bottom) until warmed all the way through. Ours look a bit different than yours...more black-ish from the finely chopped olives. These are a must try for your followers! p.s. I just stumbled across your sight tonight and LOVE it! I book-marked it and will be back! Thank you! I have the recipe (I believe)….we have been making these for 3 generations now!

Some day when I have nothing else to do, I think I'll go through it to look for this recipe. Appetizers are "big" down here so I just may have to give these a try...

Makes for a tasty treat when the need strikes. Happy holidays! I like that we may prep and freeze these Bites ahead of time. Makes for a tasty treat when the need strikes. Happy holidays!

They didn't have curry or olives but bacon and red onion. I like the sound of this version! My mom would make something similar during the holidays.
