Found this on Pinterest and they are delicious!

Ingredients

2 small onions, very finely chopped (I use a food processor)

6 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. melted butter
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, shaved
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Instructions

Mix all ingredients until well combined. Form into about 1" balls; place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Makes approximately 60 balls.

    Not bad! I was scared they would be much much more! I think I'll make this for Easter - I told my Dad we'd bring something and I think this might just work

    You will have to let me know how they turn out. I had some leftover uncooked and I ate it raw. It's just that good. I used freshly shaved Parmesan and Peppridge Farm Italian breadcrumbs.

    I've loved these since before I was a teenager (its been awhile) haven't made them in SO long tho, and now to find out they are something I can easily fit into the daily calorie goal is awesome! Thanks!

    These look amazing! What are people having them along side? I'm going through a massive quinoa phase, and I'm normally pretty good at meal time- however, meal ideas would be great for these!

    I've been making these for years and they are awesome! ... though I suspect those calories might be a little understated that someone posted. LOL!

    I would love to try these and wonder if I could substitute the whole eggs with whites and lowfat cheese.
