Easy to make and tasty. I forgot the green onions. I had too much of the filling, so I spread it on bread and toasted. It was great. So this would be good for bruschetta also. I adore blue cheese and it was lost (or well integrated) in this. I will try it both without the blue cheese and with much more.
