These little bites were perfect on an appetizer buffet. I used a smaller biscuit cutter (about 1.5 inch) and baked the puff pastries the night before the party. An hour or so before the party, I sliced the puffs and spread the cream inside. As a last minute idea, I also added a tiny slice of shaved smoked turkey with the finely diced green peppers. After filling the puffs and stacking them on a platter, I sprinkled it all with chopped parsley. Everyone loved thought these were darling little "sandwiches" and loved the flavor blend.

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
