Wow these turned out great! Exactly what I was looking for. It was great for my dinner party -- I didn't have anything left :)

I made this up for a quick lunch and enjoyed it! My granddaughter tried some and asked for the recipe! I did add a little crumbled lavender to the top. It added a nice touch. Thanks Rita! Made for the Epicurean Queens for ZWT 2009.
