I just made this as an appetizer to dinner and my husband and I just loved it. We had just had a similar appetizer at a party and the hostess gave me the recipe but this one was more flavorful. A tip I received was toast one side of the baguette slice and then spread the topping on the reverse side and broil. A delightful appetizer. My husband insisted I send my thanks! Read More

I must have done something wrong. These came out not as great as I had expected. The mayo completely overpowered the bread and I didn't taste any of the asiago cheese. I am not a big mayo fan but my husband agreed with me...too much mayo. I will try this again to see if this was my blunder or if this just didn't suit our tastes...all the same. Thanks for posting.

I loved this recepe and so did eveyone at the party. Everyone asked for the recipe. I added a bunch parmesean and mozarrella cheese to the mix to make a little more gooey. It was great! Just don't walk away from the oven they toast up pretty fast. Read More

A great recipe. I prepared the topping 24 hours before company arrived and all I had to do is pop them in the oven. Everyone raved about this tangy appetitizer. The recipe went home with three of our guests. Read More

Huge Hit at the party! I made them just before people started to arrive and the smell was incredible and the taste was better. I used an Asiago/Parmesan mix which was great and you can mix the mayo and seasoning and garlic a day or two before you serve too! Read More

This is a great recipe! I made it yesterday for a going away barbeque for my aunt everyone loved it! I used a small loaf of fresh Italian bread and cut the slices into finger food sized pieces after cooking them. I also lightly pre-toasted the slices which I think is a must. Next time I might try serving this with a marinara dipping sauce! Thanks Alison! Read More

it was ABSOLUTELY delicious. I had bought some Asiago as a replacement for Parmesan in a Caesar Salad I had just made (only because it was cheaper than the Parmesan) and needed to use up the rest of it for something. I halved the herbs because i was scared of getting too strong of a flavor and it was still great. Also put a little more of the garlic in and a bit more mayo to make it more spreadable. They were addictive!!! Read More

Every now and then usually on a Sunday evening we have what our kids call a "fun dinner". A fun dinner consists of various appetizers. Last evening we had one of those dinners and this recipe was part of the the menu. I'm pleased to say that these little puffs were a huge hit! Thanks! Read More
