Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium; add bell pepper. Cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden brown. Remove from heat.
2 In medium bowl, beat eggs. Stir in sour cream, salt and pepper sauce. Stir in cooked onion and 1/4 cup of the cheese. Spoon onion mixture evenly into mini muffin cups.
3 Unroll dough into 1 large rectangle; press perforations and edges to seal. Using a 1 1/2-inch biscuit or cookie cutter, cut dough into small rounds. Place dough round on top of onion mixture in each cup. Top with remaining cheese.
4 Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and set in center. Cool 5 minutes; run knife around edge of each muffin cup. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

Try using Monterey Jack or mozzarella in place of the Cheddar cheese.

Be patient when caramelizing the onions. If you rush them, they won't taste as sweet.

I made a double recipe for my husband's birthday party, and they disappeared very quickly. Delicious! Everyone was looking for more. Remember to grease the pans-even though they may be non-stick. They'll stick if you don't.

Use a shot glass to cut pastry

Loved the flavor of this dish. I slow cooked the onions longer than the recipe and I used more cheese. But these are the best!

These were delicious! I absent mindedly put in the entire 8 ounce container of sour cream, but it did not hurt the recipe at all. They looked fine and tasted great. I followed the suggestion of using the shot glass to cut the rounds and I didn't have any trouble removing the puffs from the pan. I am definitely making this recipe again and again.
