Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sharp cheddar cheese and softened unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well-blended.
Add the all-purpose flour, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until a cohesive, spreadable paste forms.
Using a bread knife, remove the crusts from the slices of bread. Cut each slice of bread into quarters, creating small square or triangle pieces.
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto each piece of bread, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.
Arrange the prepared pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese topping turns golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the hors d'oeuvres to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
