Cheese & onion filling for french sticks

[judydawn]

1 medium onion, 120g, peeled and cut into quarters
250g jar Kraft cream cheese spread (I use the light version, as in less calories)
100-125g margarine or butter
2 french sticks

Place onion in TM bowl, chop 6 seconds on speed 6.  Add the cheese spread and margarine & mix for 15 seconds on speed 5.
Remove the filling to a soup bowl for easier handling.
Cut the french sticks into 2 cm slices (all the way through, unlike some garlic breads)
Take a piece of alfoil, place a piece of baking paper on top of it, place the sliced bread stick into the middle and place quite a large amount of the cheese filling on each slice. Reshape the bread stick and wrap tightly in the wrapping.
Bake 180^oC for 30 minutes.

Can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge or frozen uncooked, until required.

This reminds me of an English sandwich spread can't remember the name - is that right Caroline?

I used to eat it when there about 20 years ago and lvoed it - slightly tart? from memory

Made this yesterday so have added a photo - just bumping it as it is an oldie and you might like to try it.

Thanks for bumpbing Judy, it looks nice and easy and something the kids would probably like. Does the onion cook through when in the oven? I was thinking of maybe cooking a little in some oil before adding the cheese.

Yes the onion does cook Wonder.  It is the only time I blitz the onion as much as this so it is quite fine.  In the old days I used to grate the onion for this recipe.

Thansk Judy, my kids love the bottled cream cheese so we always have it on hand. This sounds like it would make a quick and easy snack, maybe even add a little bacon.

Thanks Judy, I had forgotten about this one.  There are so many recipes on here now that sometimes I forget just what is here!!!!!
