Absolutely delicious! I was about to make this (basically), then I decided to see if there was a recipe online for it - and here it is! This is a great recipe - the only thing I did was add some srirachi (Asian hot sauce) because I like a kick. The flavor is wonderful though. Thanks very much! -
I picked this spread and a pasta salad for our office birthday potluck. This spread was delicious and very easy to prepare. The directions were also simple to follow. Noting the poster's suggestion about rye bread, I picked up a loaf of the little cocktail rye slices and they were a huge hit (also, easy to transport). Thanks, Mad Maryno, this is a keeper!

I am a young aspiring chef from Montreal. I'm a student cook and I work as a barista (fun times!!!) and I have seriously busy days that lasts forever, so now i love quick fix recipes that takes no time to whip up at 11 pm when i get home.
Well i was vegan, now I am back to an lacto-ovo diet for the sake of my class. I have to taste meat at school, and I'm ok with that. But at home, only farmer eggs, happy cow milk that comes from small farms.... and yummy honey from my hometown, Percé, Quebec.
