I'm thinking this is a great idea for Father's Day this weekend. I can make everything on Saturday. Then while my deserving husband lounges in his pajamas and sets up the television, radio and computer for his full media coverage of a White Sox game (it's a sight you'd have to see to believe), I can casually throw together this full flavored dish in a few minutes.
I'll employ the kids to set the table and toast some bread, throw together a salad and I'll be out of the kitchen so fast my coffee will still be hot.
I've served this before at a Luncheon and my favorite thing is how I can serve an elegant looking and tasting dish without missing out on the fun at the table. It's also an easy crowd pleaser or can be served in small sizes as a starter. Oh, I could go on and on, but you can probably think of some good ideas for this too, right?
RECIPE: Salmon, Tomato & Feta Pie with Potato Crust
