Our Cheesy Onion Puffs are an easy-to-make hors d'oeuvre; thanks to the shortcut of using ready-made frozen pastry sheets. Pass these party appetizers around warm, and watch them disappear.
What You'll Need
- 1 (17-ounce) box frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed (2 unbaked sheets)
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 2 cup (8 ounces) grated Cheddar cheese
- 1 onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 pinches cayenne pepper
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto a 10- x 15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together remaining ingredients, except second pastry sheet.
- Spread cheese-onion mixture onto unfolded pastry sheet.
- Unfold remaining puff pastry sheet and place over mixture.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm.
Notes
For even lighter puffs, you can use low-fat ricotta or Cheddar cheese. You can also cut down on the salt and add your favorite flavorings or fresh herbs.
