This was a wonderful recipe, mild yet flavorful, delightful little

something to share at work. I jumped ahead in my cook book

looking for something that was more of an appetizer than a whole

dish. This was light, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I loved it and it was so simple I would do it again.  Total calories about 230 for two leaves!!!!!
