For those of you who haven't tried the Beef Fiesta Bites: think crustless quiche. The combination of artichoke hearts, crab, cheese and Italian seasonings is seriously yummy. These would be great for a light supper or brunch with a salad and a glass of white wine. I served them with a Cucumber & Feta salad tonight. Given the cute mini shape they would be great appetizers at a party.
You could definitely serve these for the big game this Sunday and take your Super Bowl party snacks up a notch. I will NOT be watching the big game. I don't watch football myself. I'm not anti-sports just not into football (I'm a PBR girl). So this Sunday I'll be watching a Jane Austen DVD marathon but there WILL be snacks.
