Parmesan And Red Onion Hors Doeuvres Recipes

FILO HORS D'OEUVRES

Steps:

• Place half the filo dough in a pan.
• Pour about 1/4 cup margarine on top.
• Filling: Saute onions in melted butter until golden (about 5 to 10 minutes).
• Cook spinach according to package directions.
• Drain well.
• Squeeze out all moisture from spinach.
• Process spinach until finely chopped, about 8 to 10 seconds.
• Add onions and remaining ingredients and process just until mixed.
• (Add second egg only if mixture seems dry).
• Pour filling over first half of filo dough and cover with remaining filo dough.
• Pour remaining butter on top of filo dough (add more if necessary), and then cut in squares so that, while cooking the butter will penetrate in between the layers of dough.
• Bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes, until top is golden brown.

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.

PARTY RYE HORS D'OEUVRES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix cheese, olives, onions, and mayonnaise (just enough mayo to get to spreading consistency).
• Spread mixture on slices of rye bread (not too thin).
• Place bread on baking sheet and bake in hot oven until cheese melts, about 5 -7 minutes.
• Devour! But be careful -- it will singe the roof of your mouth if you're not careful. (;.

ONION TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Stir together onion and mayonnaise. Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and broil 6 inches from heat until lightly toasted (watch carefully). Remove from oven and turn toasts over. Spread evenly with onion mixture and sprinkle with cheese and freshly ground pepper.
• Broil hors d'oeuvres until topping is bubbling and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).
• Serve warm.
