G-Mama Betsy’s Cheese Puffs

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 ½ tsp. grated onion

8 T mayonnaise

2 T chopped chives

¼ tsp cayenne pepper

4 T parmesan cheese

1 loaf white bread*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine first six ingredients in a mixing bowl. Cut bread into rounds using a jigger or aperitif glass (these crimp the edges better than a biscuit cutter will). Mound a teaspoon of cheese mixture on each bread round and spread evenly. Arrange on baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm. Makes approximately 60.  Recipe can easily be halved and freezes very well.

* good ‘ole gummy, American white bread works best.
