Had 12 guests for dinner and this was not a big seller. The maridnade just didn't make the grade.
11/13/2011 02:05:13 PM Report AbuseI made this to take to my sister's house on Christmas Day; it was a hit. I served it in a festive pot with colored toothpicks. The only change i made to the recipe is I added hot pepper flakes to give it a little kick - delicious!! And if you have a little bread around when the cheese is gone, it's great to dip in the leftover olice oil. Great recipe - it's a keeper!! Thanks BHG!!!
