Simply fantastic! When making as canapes, it works very well to make them even the day before and simply reheat them on a baking tray the following evening to serve to your guests. That helps to crisp up the base also. Otherwise the juices from the lamb can soften the base a little. They smell delicious. I'm a big fan!
