My notes: I substitute onion power for the small onion. To make up for the lack of bulk from the onion, I use closer to 3.5 ounces of ham and a little more than half a cup of cheese. If you can't find swiss cheese, you can substitute any other cheese. I generally use cheddar. These are a great appetizer to serve before a dinner party. It lends itself well to using another kind of meat protein in the place of ham. I've made them with bacon as well as turkey and they are delicous.
