I ENVELOPE - DRY ONION SOUP MIX [THE SIZE THAT MAKES 4 CUPS]
2 CUPS - LIGHT CREAM [I WHIP UP 2 CUPS OF POWDERMILK AND ADD EXTRA POWDER]
THOSE LITTLE PASTRY CUPS OR ENOUGH PASTRY DOUGH FOR ABOUT 3 DOZEN MINI PIES

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES.
STIR TOGETHER CREAM, EGGS, AND SOUP MIX.
PUT THE PASTRY CUP THINGS IN TO MUFFIN PAN CUPS [OR KILL YOURSELF ROLLING OUT DOUGH, WHICHEVER YOU PREFER]
SPRINKLE THE BOTTOM OF THE PASTRY CUPS WITH CHEESE.
FILL WITH EGG MIXTURE [NO MORE THAN 3/4 FULL - THEY PUFF UP]
