Very nice. The recipe made over 40 miniature cupcakes. I sprinkled Panko on the top of each mini muffin and then drizzled just a tiny bit of butter on top of that before baking. An inexpensive appetizer that seemed to intrigue everyone. I think these taste best served warm, rather than at room temperature.

I have e been making these for a couple of years now The men and the kids love them, not many are left for the ladies.<br/>I made them ahead of time in miniature tart pans, cooked them and then freeze them. They heat up very well. The changes I make are to add bacon , sun-dried tomatoes parsley and top with a little more cheese. thanks for posting

I currently live in Phoenix where I work for a company that makes semiconductors. I am also a certified clinical laboratory phlebotomist. Recently moved out here from Boston, though I was born and raised in Northern Nevada. I live with my soon-to-be husband, Christopher, and our two kiddos, Katie and Ben.
I really love to cook! It is funny when I look back at how far I have come. I attended boarding school from grades 9 to 12 and then went on to college where I lived in dorms until age 23. I guess you could say I had very little kitchen experience... So when my fiance propsed marriage I knew it was time to learn. Cooking is now my favorite hobby and I cannot wait to learn more!!
