  1. What a great appetizer to make for the holiday gatherings coming up. I love that you used fresh herbs in this recipe as they have so much flavor. The roasted garlic is the icing on the cake! Thanks for another great recipe.

  2. Easiest, most impressive, best tasting appetizer ever. Sure made an impression on all my holiday guests!
    Thanks you!!!!

  3. This flaky dough is a real game-changer in the kitchen. Making puff pastry from scratch is a rather involve process, including lots of butter and lots of dough folding. Buying frozen or store-bought is a cinch and works just as well!
