I made these the other day and served with Spaghetti and tomato sauce, they were so tasty, the following day I had them in a salad, and also snacked on a couple. I put the rest in the freezer they are so versatile. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. They are quick and easy to make as you’ll find out, another great idea was to serve these as a starter with a creamy hummus dip.
