6 oz finely grated extra-sharp Cheddar (1 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

6 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion

32 thin slices firm white sandwich bread

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

2 bunches fresh chives, very thinly sliced (3/4 cup)

Special equipment: a 2-inch round cookie cutter

Stir together Cheddar, mayonnaise, onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
Cut out a round from each bread slice with cookie cutter. Arrange 8 bread rounds on a work surface and divide half of Cheddar mayonnaise among them, spreading evenly to edges. Top each with a plain round. Cover sandwiches with plastic wrap and make more in same manner.
Spread a thin layer of butter around cut edges of rounds and roll in chives, pressing with your fingertips.
