Delicious! Absolutely loved the red onion mixture! I served these more as wrapped sammies as a fantastic meal! Thnx for posting this, Chocolatl! Made for KcK's Forum.

These are best served when it's hot, then the cheese has that warmly melted flavour that I really enjoy. It tastes good when it's lukewarm or cold, but it's at it's best when served hot.
