Spinach and Goat Cheese Crustinis









This is the start of the night that was deemed "The Delicious Disappointment." Due to the last minute arrival of Sarah's sister, we were forced to merge two nights worth of recipes into one. What followed was the Stuffed Zucchini. We feasted upon these crustinis as the zucchini cooked and ended up with two huge meals, instead of two small appeteizers. Theres no feeling worse than looking at two sets of food and not being able to eat them. I warn you: make these, but don't make too many because it will hurt more to throw them out.
