1

Heat oven to 400°. Melt margarine in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in margarine 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
2

Cut cheese to fit bread. Spread each bread slice with Dijon-mayonnaise blend. Top each with onion, apple and cheese. Sprinkle with chives. Place in ungreased jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch.
3

Bake about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Using a fresh unpeeled pear such as Anjou or Bosc would be a delicious alternative to the apple in this recipe.
Consider using two serving trays for each appetizer served. When one tray is on the buffet table, the empty tray can be refilled in the kitchen to quickly replace the other when needed.
