Easy Tapas

"i often have problems finding the right starter. This is perfect, especially if you have something going on in the oven or are serving a lighter dinner or another variation of Tapas. These are also nice as a late dessert served with some heavier wine as you would do if served as a starter.I often need something good and healthy around 3 or 4 p.m and i have made these and enjoyed a cup of Earl Grey Tea with them. Kids friendly i recommend apple juice. Note: i use light home baked bread, evoo and organic honey for these Tapas. If you honey is hard you can make it liquid again by putting the jar into cooking hot water. ATT!The amounts are of course some kind of guess. It depends on your bread in how many slices you want/ have to cut it."

  1. Delicious! This is simple to make, but has a nice flair. I chose to make a couple of slices for breakfast with my tea, and would certainly do it again. Thanks, Iceland.<br/>Update: My guest love these! I do toast the bread slices for a few minutes in the oven with the olive oil first before topping them. Such a simple, yet elegant item for a party or dinner. It makes a beautiful platter with thin slices of green apple placed around or in between the tapas.
     
  2. This is a great combinations of flavors. I cheated and used a brie log, trimmed off some of the rind, warmed the cheese to soften it slightly, topped with chopped walnuts and topped with honey. I served with melba toasts. It was delicious. Thanks for sharing & posting Iceland!
     
  3. Delicious! This is a wonderful appetizer which I had as a late night snack. I did have to use rice crackers rather than bread but I know a baguette would be perfect. I used camembert instead of brie because for some reason that is what my grocer tends to carry. Again, black tea would be good with this but I don't drink it because of an allergy. Made for Ramadan Tag.
     
  4. This simple and easy combination makes a delectable taste sensation. I wish I had thought of this; ingredients I love and often have on hand. The addition of apple is a great idea; maybe pear next time! Thanks, Iceland, for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 5.
     
  5. These were great! I brushed olive oil across each piece of bread, topped with a slice of brie, drizzled honey, and sprinkled chopped walnuts across the top. I just popped them in the broiler for a minute on the lowest rack. Had some sliced apples along with the "tapas". Fantastic!!! I actually ate these two nights in a row for dessert with a glass of white wine! Made for the Saucy Senoritas ZWT5.

Originaly from Austria i moved to Iceland in 2002 after a life long longing for this country i felt at home at once and now it is the place where i belong. I am living with my wonderful husband in a nice, bright flat in the subburb of our capital, Reykjavik. I love to cook and eat healthy and i mainly use whole grain. I do not use any ready made mixes and i try to keep the food i cook close to the ingrediants i used. I am an elementary school teacher but i work in a kindergarden now and i actually prefer that field. Besides cooking and though especially baking, i like photography, knitting, swimming, long walks, all kind of sports, animals and nature among much more. <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> This was at least as much fun as it was work: Thank you team! <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/79877/hkbanknives.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/sticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> My favorite game so far: <a href="http://s714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/?action=view¤t=rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif">
