1 tbsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp good quality mayonnaise
30 croustade shells

Method

Bring a pan of water to a simmer and lower in the eggs. Boil for 8 minutes, then rinse under cold running water until cooled. Shell and roughly chop.
In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped eggs, onions, cheddar, mustard and mayonnaise. Taste and season well, then cover and chill until needed.
When ready to cook, heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6.
Line up 30 croustade shells on a baking tray (available from larger supermarkets – we used Rahms) and fill each with 1 tsp cheese and onion mixture. Bake the cheese and onion cups in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tops are golden. Dust each with a pinch of paprika and serve immediately.

Our friends at Majestic Wine recommend CDR Jean Lucas. Pour a glass of this medium-bodied raspberry and white pepper filled Rhône that’ll compliment these cheesy canapés.
