Cheese and onion cups:

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.
Line up 30 croustade shells on a baking tray 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.
