A simple combination of green chiles and pesto makes for a versatile and flavorful spread that makes a popular appetizer here
Ingredients
  • ½ cup diced green chiles (either mild or hot)
  • 3 tbsp pesto
  • 4 oz Mozzarella balls
  • 2 dozen Triscuits
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
  1. Blend green chiles & pesto
  2. Slice mozzarella balls into ¼ inch rounds. Place on paper towels and pat the tops with paper towels to dry out a bit. You can use shredded mozzarella, but taste & texture will be a bit different.
  3. On a cookie sheet, arrange slices of mozzarella on Triscuits to mostly cover. Spread a layer of pesto chile mixture on each to cover.
  4. Broil 3-4 inches from broiler burners for about 4 minutes, till cheese is melted. (You can microwave for 15 seconds, but cheese will spread more and Triscuits will start getting soggy.)
  5. Top each with fresh parsley and serve.
