Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Take the 10 slices of white bread and trim off the crusts.
- Cut each slice into four squares or rounds using a cookie cutter to your preferred shape (optional).
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped onion, and red pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Place the bread pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Spoon a small amount of the mayonnaise mixture onto each piece of bread, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
Tips:
- For the best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged variants for a richer flavor.
- If you don't have white bread, you can substitute it with any type of bread you prefer, such as whole wheat or sourdough.
- To make sure the bread doesn't get too soggy, lightly toast it before adding the topping.
- Add a touch of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper according to your taste preferences for a spicier or milder kick.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature to ensure even baking and a perfect puff.
- Cut the bread into uniform sizes for even cooking and an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
These Parmesan onion puffs are sure to be a hit at any party or event. The combination of mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and onions creates a flavorful and creamy topping that's hard to resist. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!
