Onion Sandwich

[vegelady]

     

     Ingredients :

     8 slices firm-textured white bread, cut into quarters
     8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
     1 large sweet onion, peeled and sliced into paper-thin slices*
     Fleur de sel, coarse salt, or sea salt
     2 tablespoons mayonnaise
     4 tablespoons of finely minced chives or parsley

     Choose from Vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui, Imperial, Carzalia, or Texas Spring sweet onions.


     Directions :

     Arrange the bread slices next to one another on a flat work surface. Using a glass or an 1-inch round coo0kie cutter, cut out two
     (2) small rounds from each sandwich; discard trimmings.

     Spread each bread circle with 1 tablespoon butter. Place a thin layer of sliced onions over the butter.
     Lightly season the onions with salt.
       
     Assemble the sandwiches with remaining bread slices, pressing lightly to make them adhere.
       
     Spread some of the mayonnaise around the outside rim of each sandwich round. Roll the rim of each sandwich in the chives or
     parsley to coat completely.

     Serve immediately or cover and refrigerator for a few hours.
