Unfortunately, I didn't care for this recipe and neither did my guests. I prepared the appetizer recipe to a tee and the taste was just not there. I think I'll go back to making my bruschetta with the proschiuto, provolone, basil, oregano, garlic, and mozzarella cheese. Sorry I could give a great review, but we just didn't care for the taste and the chips weren't crispy enough and probably could have used some garlic powder mixed in with the spices.
