Cheesy Onion Puffs

Michael grew up in Hawaii where his parents owned a business, had a  large circle of friends and entertained a lot. When I met Michael’s  mother many years later, she shared a recipe with me. I do not remember  if this appetizer had a name, but I call them Cheesy Onion Puffs. There  was no need to write the recipe down. It is quite simple with only four  ingredients and one sentence instructions. She told me to mix together  equal parts finely minced onion, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise,  spread on English muffins and broil until bubbly and golden brown. They did not sound very appetizing, but I was willing to give them a try.  They are indeed very good, addicting in a way. I have made them many  times over the years, and they are the first appetizer to disappear at a  party. In fact, the cook needs to stash a few for herself before  offering them to guests. I have never met anyone that did not like them.  They can be made ahead of time and broiled just before serving. You need  to watch them carefully as they go from golden brown to dark brown in a  flash.
