What is you immediate thought when someone asks you to bring an appetizer? I start going over what I like; then onto what do I have on hand and then what do I feel like eating. I don’t think I have a “go-to” app that I am known for. Well maybe caprese salad on crostini’s might be the one I make and bring the most. It helps when the tomatoes are in season, there’s nothing better but this didn’t even cross my mind.
I was thinking about making a Spanish omelet. The main event was Paella so I figured it would be along theme. How I landed on these cheeseburger sliders I am not really sure but they were a huge hit and I will be making them again. Who knows maybe they will become my “go-to”
This is also the first time that I noticed that the sweet Hawaiian rolls had a savory version. Which is what I used this time around.
