Much too easy for such a pretty package....Loved, loved, loved! I had this for a light dinner with Recipe #217132. Perfect for a summer evening. The honey and balsamic was stellar. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Lori. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds of ZWT 6.

Lori, this is MY kind of food! We both loved this, it was simple and yet so full of flavours. I used local chevre cheese and I hope you don't mind, but to save time, I used some of my own onion marmalade/jam I already had made for the onion side of things! Used fresh thyme from the garden and garnished with extra thyme for a very pretty light lunch on the terrace! Fabulous flavours! Made for ZINGO and the Whine and Cheese Gang! Merci!

Delicious and so cute, too. I've never made cheese pies in quite this way, but I know I will again as this had such a wonderful blend of flavours. The sweet/tart caramelized onions worked beautifully off the creamy feta (Dodonis brand) I used. Thanks!
