I’m serious, people. If you put this on your finger-food table during the Holidays, you will save marriages, you will inspire poetry, you will win over your mother-in-law.
Well, two ingredients doesn’t leave room for much.
Two of my current favourites:
Goat Brie on Hard Crust Peasant Bread (homemade)
Sandwich Bread and Anchovies.
oh, and Nutella on Toasted Pumpernickel.
Give me 4 ingredients, though, and I can start getting more creative than putting something already prepared on top of something else already prepared.
How about a mexican tortilla with cream cheese, honey and raisins. That’s more creative and just as simple.
I remember the first time one of my aunts set this combination out with assorted crackers. We were all huddled around the table moaning, “Manna! Manna from Heaven!”
Whole soft French cheese in a wooden box. Remove any plastic or paper, score an X in the top rind, put back in the box and throw in the oven for half an hour. Peel back the rind and dip chunks of stale bread into its melty goodness.
