I've done some searching on the web and turned up nothing so far.

Could this be version of a cheese puff? Eggs, soup mix, grated cheddar blended together to form a spread which is spread (like frosting) to cover all side of a large cube of bread (but not the bottom) then baked until it puffs and browns slightly?

You could do a trial by mixing up 1 egg, a TB or 2 of the onion soup mix (get the brown seasonings in as well as the dried onions), and a cup of grated cheddar - mix up well and chill several hours (to hydrate the onions) then spread on a 1-inch thick slice of firm white bread and bake at 400 F for about 10 minutes until golden (and to cook the egg).

I'll continue to search; it would help if you could give me all the ingredients you think were used.

Tonight I looked in some of my older cookbooks and found only this:

Onion Twirls

2 sticks margarine, softened
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
2 packages crescent rolls - Pillsbury tube in dairy case

Mix together the softened margarine and the soup mix. This mixture should be at room temp when used. On a sheet of wax paper, divide each package of rolls into 4 rectangles; pinch to close perforations in the dough. Be sure to have the roll dough well chilled.

Spread a layer of the soup mixture on each of the 4 rectangles. Roll each rectangle in a jelly roll fashion; slice each into 8 pieces. Each package of crescent rolls should yield 32 slices.

Follow the instructions on the crescent roll package for time and temperature. "I sometimes find the rolls need more time than the package says. These are excellent. If you have any soup mixture left over, use it on baked potatoes, cooked vegetables, toast or hot rolls!" [quote from the recipe contributor]

Ah ha! I just now read this last sentence!!!

"Jean Chappell uses this mixture to spread on loaf bread, then cuts the slices into three strips and toasts in a 350 oven for 10 minutes, until golden."

Hope this helps!
