PARMESAN CHEESE ROUNDS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to 425 degrees F.
• With a 2 1/8-inch cookie cutter, cut 2 rounds out of each slice of bread. Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet and place 5 inches from the heat source. Toast the bread on one side until they are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Using a whisk, mix together the mayonnaise and Parmesan in a small bowl. Remove the bread from the oven and turn the rounds over to the untoasted sides. Spread each with a thin layer of mustard. Put 1 onion slice on top and cover with about 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, spreading the mixture across the onion and bread.
• Broil until golden, about 1 minute. Never take your eyes off these; the time varies with different ovens. Work in batches of 24 rounds. Serve one batch hot while the next is cooking.

PARMESAN POTATO ROUNDS

Steps:

PARMESAN-TOMATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• In food processor bowl, pulse cheese, butter and tomato paste 2 to 3 minutes or until well mixed. Add flour, basil, salt and red pepper and pulse until well combined. Dough should be firm but not dry. If dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time and pulsing 30 seconds after each addition, until mixture holds together and a soft, clay-like dough is formed.
• Wet a paper towel and rub it over work surface. Place 12-inch piece of plastic wrap on dampened surface (the dampness helps plastic wrap stick to work surface). Scoop half of dough onto plastic wrap and form into a rough log shape. Roll log in plastic wrap and seal ends (log should be about 12 inches long and 1 1/4 inches in diameter). Repeat with remaining half of dough. Refrigerate logs at least 2 hours or until firm. (Dough can be refrigerated 3 days or wrapped in foil and frozen 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator 2 hours before cutting.)
• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• Remove 1 log from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Use serrated knife to cut 1/4-inch slices from log. Place rounds about 1/2 inch apart on cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Remove cookie sheets from oven and cool 2 minutes. Remove rounds from cookie sheet to wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
