Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix onion, mayonnaise, parmesan, and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Remove crusts from the bread. Using a 1" round cookie cutter, cut bread into 32 rounds. Place on a cookie sheet and bake, without turning, until golden, 10–15 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat broiler. Spread about 1 tsp. onion mixture onto each round, then sprinkle with more parmigiano-reggiano and brown under broiler for 1–2 minutes. Serve immediately.
