Cheese And Onion Topped Appetizer Rounds Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Stir in onions; cook uncovered 10 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in salt, brown sugar, and vinegar. Cook 30 to 35 minutes longer, stirring every 5 minutes, until onions are deep golden brown (onions will shrink during cooking). Cool slightly.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Place bread slices on ungreased cookie sheet; spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Bake 6 to 9 minutes or until crispy.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine goat cheese and cream cheese; blending until smooth; set aside.
• Place 1 teaspoon caramelized onions onto each bread slice; top with 1 rounded teaspoon cheese mixture. Sprinkle with herbs.

PARMESAN ONION PUFFS

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.

CHEESE- AND ONION-TOPPED APPETIZER ROUNDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, garlic powder and water until soft dough forms. Let stand about 10 minutes or until cool.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and onions until blended.
• Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 12 to 15 times or until smooth. Press or roll dough until 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 2-inch round cutter dipped in Bisquick mix. On ungreased cookie sheet, place rounds about 1 inch apart. Spoon cheese mixture on each round.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
