Such an easy little appetizer! I've made it twice. Once exactly following the recipe. The second time, I used fontina cheese. It was a little creamier, but I think I'd stick with the mozzarella, it has more flavor. Oh and definitely take the time to make the Parmesan-Toasted Baguette Slices. They were yummy!
