Most of the fixin's...
Yeah. You KNOW exactly what I’m talking about! Those (toaster-oven) broiled hors d’oeuvres that mom made when you were young!
I had always thought this was one of my mom’s recipes that handed from friend-to-friend, until I saw a similar recipe published in my hors d’oeuvres book. (Side note: I am so glad that I have some knowledge of the French language, because spelling hors d’oeuvres now is so much easier!) They actually published another cheesy canape she made right alongside it – which she actually got from one of the SF Junior League cookbooks.
Anyhow, the holiday season came and went without these cheesy canapes. So, I took it upon myself, after an especially tough week at work, to make some last Friday.
My mom’s recipe differs slightly – she adds curry powder to the mix – which makes it all that much better. With this batch I forewent the Best Foods and substituted it with a vegenaise of some sort and it turned out just as I remembered.
These were fully enjoyed (maybe enjoyed a little too much) with a glass (or two) of Coppola Diamond Merlot.
Yum!
