Directions:

To prepare cornucopias: Cut a 3-inch round circle (use a cookie cutter or circular shaped glass) from each slice of bread. Flatten each circle with a rolling pin. Brush with melted butter on both sides. Roll each circle of bread to form a cornucopia or horn of plenty. Fasten with a wooden toothpick . Bake on ungreased baking sheet for 12 minutes at 350 F. or until golden brown. One hour before serving, stuff cornucopias with filling. To prepare Deviled Ham Filling: Blend softened cream cheese, deviled ham, onion, horseradish, celery seed and salt, pepper, parsley and paprika. Fill cornucopias by teaspoonfuls or use a pastry bag.

* Any type of filling can be used such as tunafish or chicken salad. Cornucopias may be made several days in advance and frozen (without the filling).
