It can be made ahead and frozen, then reheated and sliced into finger food sized squares. If you freeze it, add the salt and olive oil to the top just before reheating. <BR/><BR/>Here is a link with a picture http://beansandcaviar.blogspot.com/2007/10/schiacciata-toscana.htmlBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074159461937058094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21795293.post-57481919010277377122007-11-08T10:44:00.000-08:002007-11-08T10:44:00.000-08:00Dolores, email me.

There are some pretty fabulous things on it like fried polenta sticks, fig blue cheese stuffed phyllo cups, etc.breadchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376772267923924607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21795293.post-90148828212704373062007-11-08T05:05:00.000-08:002007-11-08T05:05:00.000-08:00What a smart girl you are to plan way ahead.

She did a magnificent job by doing a whole glazed ham for the do - as it was the beginning of the season no one was hammed out as it were. She then set it up on the buffet, and carved slabs of glorious warmed ham off the bone. She simply served it with thick slices of a decent sourdough and a range of mustards and a homemade relish or two. <BR/><BR/>She also did blinis as you can make hundreds of the tasty little pikelets ahead of time and then simply top with some smoked salmon, salmon roe etc just as people are arriving. <BR/><BR/>This year I'm determined to do Nigella's parma ham parcels - a slice of prosciutto with some goats cheese and I believe some fresh fig wrapped inside - she wraps them so they're almost triangular and mouth-pop-in size.<BR/><BR/>Just some initial thoughts and ever so pleased you found me for me to find you!KPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124224647059797583noreply@blogger.com
