Into a bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and cayenne. Blend in the

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

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.
