1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan

 

" My family has d to Gourmet since 1942 or 1943, " says Hope Mihalap of

Norfolk, Virginia. " This uncomplicated hors d'oeuvre

was first served to me at a cocktail party in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, some

35 years ago. "

 

" Since then I have discovered other people who make it. Some thinly slice the

onion and top it with the mayonnaise and cheese, while

others chop the onion and mix it into the mayonnaise. Either way, it's

delicious. "

 

This is one retro recipe we're glad to revisit. Of the two preparation methods

Hope Mihalap describes, we preferred chopping up the

onions - the toasts are a bit easier to eat that way.

 

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.

 

3Broil hors d'oeuvres until topping is bubbling and lightly browned, 1 to 2

minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).

 

Serve warm.

 

Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres.
