Ingredients

  • 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on package
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped red onion
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 3/4 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
  • Additional chopped red onion, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Let refrigerated pie crusts come to room temperature; cut with 3-inch round biscuit cutter or glass. Press crust circle in each of 24 small muffin cups, 1 3/4x1 inch.
  • 2
    Melt butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 3/4 cup onion in butter 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 15 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden brown; remove from heat.
  • 3
    Heat oven to 400°. Beat eggs in large bowl. Stir in sour cream, salt and pepper sauce. Stir in onion. Stir in 1/4 cup of the cheese. Spoon onion mixture into crusts. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • 4
    Bake 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and set in center. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with additional onion.

  • For a sit-down, eat-with-a-fork appetizer, double the filling ingredients (except use 3 eggs) and bake in one pie crust placed in an 11x1-inch tart pan or 9-inch pie plate. Bake about 30 minutes or until set; let stand 20 minutes before cutting into wedges.
  • Vary the cheese in these appetizers, and you'll have a whole new appetizer! Pesto-garlic cheese, Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers or bacon cheese add their own special flavors. If you are short of time, check out the preshredded cheeses in your supermarket--you may be surprised at your options.
