Sometimes we just need a delicious snack or hors d’oeuvre that is simple and easy. I am always busy working on the main dish and often just need something super easy and quick for the hors d’oeuvre. This was one of the days. I have seen this with a basil leaf on the tooth pick but I wanted the flavor of the basil without using a fresh basil leaf – because it didn’t have one. So there! This is my easy option and an absolutely delicious one at that. You have got to love easy and simple recipes – especially when they taste this good!
