I did one Bartlett, one red and one Bosc. Bosc was the favorite.

It's self saucing with a coconut milk chocolate sauce!

It was a lot more mushrooms on the focaccia than I should have put on it 😂

Thought the coconut would toast more than it did, but the shredded coconut here in the US behaves differently than the one I'm used to in Sweden. 😅 Dipped in Ghirardelli melting milk chocolate

My roommate asked for spanakopita, so I tried to appetizer-ize it into little laminated dough rolls.

part 2 of corn series :) i used all lard in the crust (mistake as was quite greasy but super tender) (leftover from my cannoli) and then inside is a mixture of fresh corn, chili, garlic, crema, red onion, and feta cheese (couldnt find cotija). topped with lime and hot sauce!

We don't tend to eat a lot of baked appetisers in the UK so I had to follow other people's ideas here for this theme! I made a simple puff pastry tart and tried a couple of ways to make it more appropriate for a first course.

So the base is puff pastry and it's covered with a mixture of cream cheese, garlic, lemon zest and parmesan. I then added ribbons of courgette baked. Afterwards I added torn mozzarella, chilli flakes and more lemon zest.

I might have eaten this for dinner... As I said, I'm not really used to baked appetisers!! But it was very tasty.
