I served this appetizer at the murder mystery party that I hosted for my 50th birthday. I would not recommend this appetizer because it did not plate well and it needed to be cooked about 20 minutes before it was served. Despite the fact that this appetizer was not a hit, the murder mystery party was a smashing success! The solution was Ms. Jade with the revolver in the kitchen.

This recipe was taken out of a magazine and stapled to a recipe card and placed in my mother's recipe box.
