egg crowns unusual appetizer
I got this recipe from a Culinary Arts Institute cookbook. Similar to stuffed eggs, it makes a delicate, elegant AND economical appetizer. This is a welcome addition to a buffet or appetizer tray. Can be made ahead. **The photo is from Bing - next time I make these I'll try to remember to take an actual photo!
