Time 20m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon crushed basil
4 slices sandwich bread
paprika

Steps:

  • Set oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, onion, parsley and basil until blended.
  • Spread each slice of bread with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture.
  • Cut into 4 triangles, and place on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
  • If desired, a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese may be added to mayo mixture or sprinkled on top before baking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give you the best flavor.
  • Make sure the cheese is cold before grating it. This will help it melt evenly in the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the puffs tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the flavors to develop and the puffs to rise more evenly.
  • Bake the puffs in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This will cause the puffs to fall.
  • Let the puffs cool slightly before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
