This recipe or many versions of this recipe was very popular in the late 50's through the 70's, now you don't see it served at parties too much, But I still love this easy & tasty appetizer. In looking through a cookbook called FRIED GREEN TOMATOES I came across this recipe & it reminded me of my Home Economics days when I was in school & it was very popular. Served as Tea Sandwiches in Celery Sticks or on Ritz Crackers. No matter how you choose to serve it, it is delicious, & so simple and easy to make. There are many variations of this recipe. Hope you give it a try.

These are the main ingredients for this recipe.
