I have made this twice now and sorry I forgot to review it. Being the recipe of the day ... it reminded me to make it. Once as a sandwich and once as an appetizer.

The first time I used a whole wheat english muffin and I had it for lunch which was great. I prefer scallions (white and green parts) vs a white onion, but otherwise followed the recipe.

The second time I made it as an appetizer. I did change a few things.
- I used toasted baguettes for individual bites
- I used a red jalapeno along with the scallions
- And I added a few green chilies'

It was fantastic. I made it for a small party and not one was left. A great little appetizer, but also a great lunch or snack. I could have this and a bowl of soup for dinner and it would be perfect. A nice easy recipe.

Thx, I will definitely make this again and again

I scaled this back for 2 slices of bread using wholemeal/wholegrain and as I don't care for cilantro I used fresh sweet basil and this made a delicious and filling breakfast. Thank you MarraMamba, made for ZAAR Stars.
