Mild, nutty swiss cheese squares baked until bubbly & golden brown
I can’t remember a Thanksgiving or New Year’s Eve without Swiss Cheese Squares
My family has been making these little appetizers for-EVER!
I’m not even sure where the recipe is from. Swiss Cheese Squares have just always been in our lives
Four simple ingredients, a short amount of prep and less than 12 minutes of cook time
Sounds like this recipe needs an invite to your next party
Check out a few of our other party favorites:
Brie & Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Mushrooms
You’ll need one 6 oz. bag of shredded Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, one small thinly diced onion, party rye cocktail bread
Mix the Swiss, thinly diced onion and mayo in a bowl until combined
This mixture will be thick and seem like it needs more mayo, but just keep stirring. You don’t want a greasy end product
Measure out one tablespoon of the Swiss-mayo mixture and spread onto each party rye with an offset spatula
Spread evenly and try to cover the entire square of bread
Arrange Swiss Cheese Squares on an ungreased sheet pan (lined with parchment) and place into a 400 degree oven
Keep an eye on the squares, but it usually takes about 7-9 minutes to get the bread toasty and the cheese bubbly
Ok. Now comes the part that I need to be kept honest with
The broiling!!
Broil for 2 minutes and WATCH them closely
There’s a fine line between golden brown, bubbly deliciousness and burnt like toast. Believe me, I know
Serve the Swiss Cheese Squares as soon as they come out of the oven
You may want to double or triple this recipe
I’m just saying this from experience because these tangy, cheesy bites will disappear quickly

Had this as appetizer this past Christmas at our sister in laws, FANTASTIC and GONE in a flash!!!!
SO glad you all liked it! Thanks for the comment!
My mom got this recipe from a supper club in northern Wisconsin in the mid-70’s. But we place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mayo onion mixture. We also spread a little butter on one side of the cocktail rye and broil it so it is extra crispy.
Butter makes everything better! 😉
I want to try the Swiss cheese squares but I don’t like Swiss. What other cheese would you recommend that has a good flavor?
A somewhat soft cheese like shredded montery jack or muenster would work.
