Sopressata and Cheese Puff Pastry
This appetizer is just plain fun to make. You put it in the oven looking all flat and when you take it out…..POOF! A Big PUFFY pastry….I guess that’s where they got the name “Puff Pastry”…but it really is true! LOL This appetizer was a big hit at my last two parties so I say go for it. I think your guests will love it. The Sopressata lays on a bed of dijon mustard which is a nice surprise when you bite into this. Cut these in cute little squares or triangles for a great presentation! Now, bring on the next party!!!
