The flavors of this recipe blend for a sharp satisfying bite. Serve at your next party, event, or wedding.
Who loves small bites more than I do? Maybe no one. But I always get disappointed when than service tray passes by and its laden with shrimp, cheese, and bacon. Luckily my local Chabad house always has several vegan options swirling around at their nicest events. Last week, I made these for one of my fancier shabbats for my usual non-vegan guests. I did not make enough! You might want to double or triple my recipe for a more sizeable dinner. I did have ingredients left over. I simply made enough to fill the serving platter.
I find that the strength of this recipe is the combination of the sharp, almost tart, cheese, the refreshing zest of lemon, and watery crisp sprouts. The "buttery" crackers serve as a great base and flavor finish. Let me know what you think.
Also this is a more pricey recipe, so I won't be doing the cost analysis. And I am grateful for the privilege of being able to buy something slightly outside my normal budget.
