Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Discovered this in an old cookbook. I play around with it every time I make it, testing with adding garlic, a little cream, etc. Once, even with some balsamic vinegar. It's good no matter what I add, and it's easy, easy, easy. Dressed up in store-bought pastry cups, presents like you worked hard when you barely break a sweat.

Onions are cooked in melted butter and then combined with spinach, crab meat, and Parmesan cheese. Made with only a few ingredients, they're very flavorful. This is an easy appetizer recipe your guests won't be able to stop eating.
