Holiday appetizers
During a recent telephone conversation with Fran Bonscher, a friend who, with her husband John, lives on Cape Cod, we were discussing holiday entertaining, and various ideas for appetizers. Fran mentioned an Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) recipe using puff pastry that sounded good, and easy, so we immediately tracked the recipe down on the web, and gave it a try. The recipe is as simple, and lovely as Fran promised, and while we did add one ingredient, leeks, when we made the recipe, it certainly is lovely as originally written.

Hi Merry,
This sounds very interesting , very simple and very good! My kind of dish. Hope to try it
very soon.
Jan, I think you will enjoy this one. It really is spectacular when you pull it out of the oven, and surprisingly (to us), it reheated beautifully at 350 degrees – just long enough to warm up the pastry and cheese.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
Just wanted to let you know, I tried this recipe and it was delicious. Reheated some this
morning in the oven for breakfast and it was just as good for breakfast as it was for an appetizer.
Thanks again. Hope your Christmas is very, very merry, Merry!!!!
Yum, we didn’t think about it at breakfast, Jan, but what a great idea! And a very, merry to you, too!
