Ingredients

• 8-ounce package cream cheese
• 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 Tablespoons minced green onion or minced dried onion or minced shallots
• 1 beaten egg
• A box of salted crackers

Directions

1. Unwrap the cream cheese and put it in a microwave-safe bowl. Nuke it in HIGH for 30 seconds, or until it begins to soften.

2. Mix in the mayonnaise and stir until the mixture is smooth.

3. Mix in the onion.

4. Mix in the beaten egg.

5. Lay out the crackers on a broiler pan, salt side up.

6. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cracker in a circle that reaches the edges. Mound it slightly in the center. Use about two teaspoons of cheese mixture per cracker.

7. Position the rack approximately three inches below the coil of the broiler and turn it in HIGH. Broil the crackers (with the oven door open to the first latch so the broiler doesn’t kick on and off) until the cream cheese puffs up and is just starting to turn golden. This should take about 90 seconds if the reach is correctly positioned.

8. Let cool for a minute or two, before serving.
