This is my go to for every party I attend and need to bring a dish. It's been a total hit every time! I even served it at my bridal shower because I loved it so much, as did everyone else. My only tip is to cut the pastry in half as the middle has a tendency to come out a bit under cooked. Then you don't end up burning the edges just to get the middle crispy.

A great combination of flavors. Delicious results.

This recipe is very easy to make and very good. However, for my family even though we love Gorgonzola cheese it didn't work best for us with this recipe.

SO delicious and incredibly easy. I prepared these for a big wedding reception. They froze and reheated well too! But they are at their very best right out of the oven. Definitely a keeper.
