Say Cheese!

What could be more satisfying than sinking your teeth into a warm, crusty slice of french baguette with melted cheese on it?  This is not just another grilled cheese toast but the gourmet version of it!  Tender, green scallions and crispy, caramelized onions elevates this hors d'oeuvre to ooey,gooey goodness.  It comes with a warning: "Highly addictive - cannot stop with one!"

Ingredients:
1 loaf of crusty,french bread
8 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese
1/4 lb softened butter (room temperature)
1 cup regular Mayonnaise
4 oz. can diced green chilles
1/2 bunch scallions sliced thin
1 large onion, sliced and caramelized
Parsley for garnish (optional)

Method:
Set oven on broil. Slice the bread into 1/2" slices. Mix together the cheese, Mayo,softened butter, diced chilles,and scallions.  Spread the mixture on the baguette slices. Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and begins to bubble. Garnish with caramelized onion and parsley and serve immediately.

Note: You can substitute Mozzarella cheese too. I have used minced Serrano peppers instead of the canned chilles for a kick!  Loaded with calories but oh so yum! It has to be served straight out of the oven.
