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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The second time I made it as an appetizer. I did change a few things.<br/>- I used toasted baguettes for individual bites<br/>- I used a red jalapeno along with the scallions<br/>- And I added a few green chilies'<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Thx, I will definitely make this again and again

A great recipe here, just what I was looking for, quick, fast, items on hand and OH-SO-TASTY! I made for two, and I can't tell you what I loved more. the jalapenos, the cilantro, the cheese? Any and all of it! You won't want to change anything, this is delish snack and so great, so fast. Great and thanks so much! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* July 2009

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
