    Cheesy Onion Puffs

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    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. Cheesy Onion Puffs 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.

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
