  1. I love this appetizer. It is really good and easy. I love fresh mozzarella so I knew it would be a hit! My family and guests enjoyed this as well! I will be making it again. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. This was very easy to make and a wonderful presentation! I reduced the recipe by half, and used a fresh mozzarella ball, cut into four pieces. The taste was wonderful and I'm sure my friends will be impressed when I serve it to them! This was served as an entree (with some lovely focaccia), but I could definitely see serving it as an appy, before an entree. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe, I'mPat!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
