Onion Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until just brown, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook stirring often, until dark golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
• Roll each sheet of pastry to a 12-inch square on a marble surface or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Divide the caramelized onions in the center of each pastry. Put a brie round on top of the onions and brush edges of both pastry squares with beaten egg. Fold pastry up and over cheese to completely enclose the cheese in the pastry. Press the seams together to completely seal. Arrange each pastry round, seam side down, on a silicone mat or parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each pastry round with beaten egg. Bake until golden brown. 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes before indulging. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Toast the bread slices and remove all crust from around the edges.
• Cut the slices with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter (can use a glass for for this, but be careful not to break the glass!).
• Spread the toasted rounds lightly with mayo.
• Top with a slice of onion, then spread more mayo on top of the onion.
• Broil until golden brown.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Stir together cheese, mayonnaise, onion, and cayenne.
• Cut out 4 rounds from each bread slice using cutter and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake toasts until tops are crisp and just golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool toasts slightly on baking sheet on a rack. (Leave oven on.)
• Top each toast with a rounded 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture, spreading to edge with a small offset spatula or knife. Bake toasts until topping is puffed and golden, about 6 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the broiler.
• 2. Toast the bread lightly in a toaster oven. Remove the crusts. Cut the slices with a 2-inch round biscuit cutter and spread the rounds lightly with mayonnaise. Put a slice of onion on top of each piece and spread with mayonnaise again. Broil until golden brown. Serve hot.
• Ellen's Tips:
• You can add some chopped fresh parsley on top of the puffs after broiling. You can spread some hot and sweet mustard on top of the onion before the mayonnaise for a spicier version of this recipe.
