This was one of the first recipes I ever saw a few years ago, watching the food network for the first time. It does make a lot, but you can use a small springform pan and make 1/2 recipe. I serve it cold as an appetizer. Everyone always loves it! It is different from the routine appy's; the mustard sauce makes it even better. I am going to try it hot some time, because that sounds good, too. Never even thought of that!!! Yum!!

It makes a LOT, and no one can eat more than a few bites. I won't be making this again, but you might love it depending on your tastes.
