    Wonderful!!!! These little babies were awesome! I made them as written and wouldn't change a thing. These would be great on a hot summer day since you only need the broiler for about 5 min. I served them with Cabbage/Leek/Potato Soup #111758 which is just about my favorite soup!! Thanks ellie, I will be making these again and again!!

    These were very good for a quick no-fuss supper. I had no green onions, so I used some finely diced white onion instead.

    I'm eating these as I write...so very good. I had to use hamburger buns because that's all I had, also my local grocery was out of imitation crab so I bought imitation crab/shrimp and it's so delicious!!! I think I'll try this on french bread the next time as I love french bread, Thanks for sharing a keeper.
