  1. Edible but could use some tweaks. Cheese definitly will not brown like the photo of the small squares you see in the one photo in the 2 or 3 minutes suggested. You would need to use your broiler or a torch or bake longer at higher temp to brown the cheese. I suppose it could depend on the cheese you use. They look like they would be great finger food in that photo but you will most likely need to eat them with a fork on a small plate. They will cut into squares or triangles but are more the consistancy of quiche. I read a review that stated they were a little bland and I agree. I would add maybe 1/4 to 1/3 more cheese but place it over the broccoli mix in addition to the cheese on top. I love walnuts but this might be better without them or maybe some chopped cooked bacon instead. The walnuts did not make it better. I originally chose to make this recipe because I thought it would be a good way to make use of the walnuts I already had on hand. I'm not big on salt and feel most recipes don't need more salt but this one does. Bacon instead of walnuts would add more salt flavor without adding straight salt. I used salted butter but it could still use more salt. I read another review that mentioned the top having pools of oil. Mine had pools of oil from the melted cheese too when it came out of the oven. While it was still hot I carefully soaked up as much of the pools of oil as I could with a paper towel. I also might use more biscuit mix to give them a little more body and maybe a slightly thicker biscuit layer. You can try this recipe exactly like it is but most likely you will end up thinking you should have used some or all of my suggested tweaks. I wrote this review so the next people that attempt this recipe are not as disappointed/unimpressed as I was.
     
  2. I have to give this recipe 5 stars just for the flavor. I had a little problem - but it was my doing. I used fresh shaved broccoli and this seemed to take a little longer oven time - like by 15 minutes. That meant that I had to be careful that the edge pieces didn't burn so I lightly covered with foil for the last 10 minutes also I had a Bakers Saver under the dish We loved the flavor and I have frozen some to see how they do will report back when next I bake them Thanks Mirj - I can always depend on your recipes 11 Nov 08 I have made these twice, frozen some for 3 months and they were super - Guests asked for the recipe
     
  3. i made these last year and remeber they were pretty bland..sorry wasnt too too impressedwith them.but may try them again.
     
  4. Fixed these yesterday to see how they might fare on a finger-food buffet, & believe me, they're GREAT! What a different kind of vegetable appetizer! The only change I made was to forgo the garlic salt & substitute some minced garlic & just a small amount of 'NoSalt!' Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

If you ask my husband (or my coworkers), I haven't logged out since! <br /><br /><a href=http://www.TickerFactory.com/><br /><img src=http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;15;0/st/20011021/e/I Joined Zaar%21/dt/6/k/f656/event.png border=0 alt= /></a> <br /><br />So what's happened in the ten years since I became addicted to Zaar? Well, I've been happily married, happily divorced, and happily married once again. (Wanna see wedding pictures? Click <a href=http://community.webshots.com/user/mirjamdorn>here</a>.) <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=chuppah2.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/chuppah2.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />Originally from the Bronx, I've been living in Israel since 1983. I'm married to a brilliant man with the most yummy British accent (this is the part where he rolls his eyes and says, Yeah, yeah, yeah). Let's call him Sushiman, even though he hates that name. <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/52282>Chia</a> gave him that nickname when I was trying to create a dinner to show off my culinary talents. I posted here on Zaar with questions about the menu and since sushi was the main focus of the meal, he became Sushiman. That dinner was just the first of what I hope will become a lifetime of meals together. <br /><br />This is a picture of us taken in September 2005 in Kew Gardens in London. It my favorite picture of the two of us. <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com/ target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Kew.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /></a> <br /><br />This comes in as a close second, taken March 2009: <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=Wedding6.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/Wedding6.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />I have 4 of the most gorgeous daughters in the known universe (tfu, tfu, tfu, that's me spitting three times to ward off the Evil Eye). Sushiman has 4 kids of his own, so together that makes us a family of ten, together with my dog and my step-dog (sadly, since I first wrote this my step-dog, Honey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge). We're the Brady Bunch on speed. Not all eight live with us, but everyone is in and out all of the time, so we're thinking about replacing our front door with one of those revolving thingies.</p> <p>If you need help figuring out the whole complicated mess, you can check out <a title=Miriyummy -- A Guide to the Perplexed href=http://miriyummy.wordpress.com/about/ target=_blank>Miriyummy, A Guide to the Perplexed</a>.</p> <p>Here are my four beauties -- from left to right: Adiya, Sara, Nomi and Tehila <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=111.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/111.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />On March 18, 2009, my oldest, Sara, got married to Ariel. The wedding was a clash of cultures and traditions, and we had a blast! <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=171.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/171.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />Over 500 people attended our little party... <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=237.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/237.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />... and Ariel was welcomed into our family in style! <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=225.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/225.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />If you want to see the photo album from Sara and Ariel's wedding, just go <a href=http://family.webshots.com/album/571020179JBDlvf?vhost=family&amp;vhost=family&amp;action=refreshPhotos&amp;albumID=571020179&amp;security=JBDlvf>here</a>. <br /><br />We're just one big happy family, most of the time, really! <br /><br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/?action=view?t=098.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/mirj/098.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />Here on Recipezaar I am the host of the <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=29>Kosher &amp; Jewish Cooking forum</a>. Come on in, and let the Jewish Mothers of Zaar feed you senseless! <br /><br />I hope you enjoy my recipes. I have only posted recipes of food that I am willing to eat myself. Therefore, you won't find anything unkosher in my recipes. You won't find any stinky bleu cheese or goat's cheese either. You will find a lot of comfort food, I believe that comfort food is very important. <br /><br />Gay and Troy are always thanking us for making Recipezaar such a great place. I firmly believe that it's Gay and Troy themselves that deserve a multitude of thanks, from us! And I hope I live up to their expectations! <br /><br /><strong>Miscellaneous Stuff</strong> <br /><br /><a href=http://www.TickerFactory.com/><br /><img src=http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10300;6/st/20050624/e/Since We Tied The Knot/dt/7/k/f6c1/event.png border=0 alt= /></a> <br /><br />&nbsp;<a href=http://www.shinystat.com target=_top><br /><img src=http://www.shinystat.com/cgi-bin/shinystat.cgi?USER=Mirj border=0 alt=Free website counter /></a> <br /><br />What time is it in Ra'anana? <br /> <object width=300 height=25 data=http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5001-red.swf?TimeZone=IST&amp;Place=&amp;DateFormat=DD-mm-YYYY&amp; type=application/x-shockwave-flash> <param name=data value=http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5001-red.swf?TimeZone=IST&amp;Place=&amp;DateFormat=DD-mm-YYYY&amp; /> <param name=src value=http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/5001-red.swf?TimeZone=IST&amp;Place=&amp;DateFormat=DD-mm-YYYY&amp; /> <param name=wmode value=transparent /> </object> <br /><br /><a href=http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/40180.html?bannertypeclick=miniWeather2><br /><img src=http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/miniWeather2_both_cond/language/www/global/stations/40180.gif border=0 alt= /><br /></a></p>
