Kids have decided they want these in their school lunches after being taken out for a treat lunch (thanx Grandma!).I know you mix grated cheese with finely chopped onion, but what are the ratios!Is there anything I should be putting in, it just doesnt seem to taste right.Thanx

Only use a small amount of onion, chives are milder.

Mix the cheese and onion together with a teeny amount of hot water:)
.and put a pack of (kid-friendly) peppermints in their school bags.

Husband has his: cheese to cover bread slice (grated) then finely chop a thin slice of onion, and sprinkle like you would with pepper.about that much.

yep, a lot of the cafes mix the cheese/onion with a little mayo, as it sticks to the bread. For kiddies, I would put more cheese to onion. red onion might be better for them.

Red onion is good in these, lots milder

My favourite, a cheese and onion sandwich.Made them every day in my cafes for years, grated cheese, onion, spring onion for a bit of greenery and a small amount of mayo, all mixed together in a food processor, an easier consistency to spread on bread. Yum yum.

i grate the cheese and finely chop they onion. then a secret is to add a littleboiling water to blend it all together. my son went through a stage of pickled onion sandwiches. felt sorry for his classmates.

I used to grate the cheese in my Ralta Whizz, add finely diced onion, pepper, then mix with a little milk - all in the whizz. The milk made a nice spreadable consistency

Try cooking the onion a little first & then add it to your cheese, (I zap it in the MW for 1 minute) that will get rid of the strong raw onion smell.

Pickled onion cut into chunky rings, with a slab of cheddar, in between a couple of slices of ploughman's is a favourite in this blokes lunch box.

I mix finely chopped onion with grated cheese and enough mayonaise to make a spreadable consistency. It's lovely made fresh or toasted.

We have these when we go out fishing.Couple of slices of cheese, mainly mild, and sliced up red onion between fresh white bread. Yummy. If we have any left when we get home, we toast them.
