FIG & GOAT CHEESE NESTS
Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: I love making appetizers and tapas! I developed this recipe for the Simply Potatoes Contest last night. These are quick and easy, but look so beautiful that your guests will think they took you hours to make! They are also perfect "one bite" appetizers.
