Reviews
I love making Italian-style and Mediterranean themed dishes. We had an Italian themed luncheon at work, and I made these. What a hit they were! So unique and such a punch of flavors! I added a tiny spring of mint atop the cheese. They were wonderful!
this was a real WOW at my last dinner party. People who didn’t know they liked figs had seconds! Maximum taste for minimum effort…what could be better?
